This collection
has been granted emergency approval for 180 days, appropriate
procedures should be followed to approve this collection under
regular clearance procedures, which can be approved for up to three
years. When this collection comes in for regular approval OMB would
like the agency to adjust its cost estimates requested in both the
83-I form section 14 and question number 13 of the justification
statement to include those costs incurred by the respondents for
the required photos, the application fee, and the processing fee.
Also, the agency should respond to the public comment received by
OMB and faxed to the State Department CIO 8/6/97 from Lloyd Jenkins
of Jacksonsville, FL. Mr. Jenkins complained that the DSP-11,
DSP-19, DSP-82, etc. needed to be filled out with black ink but the
forms do not inform the public of that. If this is so, then the
forms should indicate that they need to be filled out with black
ink.
