Abstract of Proposed Collection
Information collection tools for gathering data from foreign
missions, including electronic data collection (e-Gov), have been
combined into one request called the ``Foreign Diplomatic Services
Applications.'' These tools help the Office of Foreign Missions and the
Office of the Chief of Protocol gather the information they need to
manage benefits, privileges, and immunities for foreign missions and
eligible applicants. This program allows them to apply for benefits
from the U.S. Department of State, as provided by the Foreign Missions
Act.
Methodology
Information may be received via email or electronic submission
through eGov at <a href="https://egov.ofm.state.gov/">https://egov.ofm.state.gov/</a>.
Adriana Spain,
Executive Director, Office of Foreign Missions, Department of State.
