by the French government, the agreement will provide for the transfer 
of $60 million from France to the United States, to compensate eligible 
claimants for harms suffered as the result of deportation from France 
during the Holocaust by SNCF, the French national rail carrier. In 
exchange for a lump sum, which the United States would use to 
compensate eligible claimants, the United States would undertake a 
commitment to prevent the prosecution of deportation-related claims in 
U.S. courts by recognizing and protecting France's and SNCF's sovereign 
immunity for such claims.
    Methodology: The information will be collected on a form, the DS-
7713, Statement of Claim, which can be submitted by mail or fax.

    Dated: April 16, 2015.
