2016-09-30; vol. 81 # 190 - Friday, September 30, 2016 81 FR 67156 - Passports: Service Passports
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF STATE Interim final rule. This rule is effective on September 30, 2016. The Department of State will accept comments on this interim final rule until November 29, 2016. 22 CFR Part 51 Summary This rule amends a regulation that establishes the different types of passports issued by the Department of State. A definition for special issuance passports is added. Amendments establish a new service passport, which may be approved for certain non-personal services contractors who travel abroad in support of and pursuant to a contract with the U.S. government, and make corresponding changes regarding official and diplomatic passports. The service passport will demonstrate a contractual relationship between the bearer's employer and the U.S. government as the reason for travel, thereby continuing to demonstrate the individual's support function on behalf of the U.S. government, but nevertheless signaling a more attenuated relationship with the U.S. government than that enjoyed by direct hire employees. The U.S. government incurs significant additional cost annually in delays and fees because foreign governments do not recognize contractors as doing work for the U.S. government. By more clearly demonstrating the attenuated relationship, the Department will eliminate such waste. The regulation is amended to establish the validity of the new service passport and clarify the grounds for invalidity of a special issuance passport.

2015-04-29; vol. 80 # 82 - Wednesday, April 29, 2015 80 FR 23754 - Proposed Elimination of Visa Page Insert Service for U.S. Passport Book Holders
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF STATE Proposed rule. Written comments must be received on or before June 29, 2015. 22 CFR Parts 22 and 51 Summary Currently, all U.S. passport book applicants may apply for either a 28-page or 52-page passport book at no extra charge. U.S. passport book holders may then apply for additional visa pages while the passport book is still valid. The Department of State proposes eliminating the option to add visa pages in passports beginning January 1, 2016. To help mitigate the need for visa page inserts, the Department began issuing the larger 52-page passport book in October 2014 to all overseas U.S. passport applicants at no extra cost. U.S. passport applicants applying domestically can still obtain the 52-page passport book at no extra charge by requesting it on the application form. The elimination of visa page inserts coincides with the Department's anticipated rollout of the Next Generation Passport in 2016. The Next Generation Passport incorporates new security features designed to protect the integrity of U.S. passport books against fraud and misuse. An interagency working group determined that the addition of visa page inserts could reduce the effectiveness of these new security features. If this change is implemented, the fee for this service will be removed from the Schedule of Fees for Consular Services.
2012-02-02; vol. 77 # 22 - Thursday, February 2, 2012 77 FR 5177 - Schedule of Fees for Consular Services, Department of State and Overseas Embassies and Consulates
