Department of State.
     Form Number: DS-7713, Statement of Claim.

     Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the time and cost 
burden for this proposed collection, including the validity of the

Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and 
the Government of France to Address Claims Related to Deportation 
During the Holocaust, signed on December 8, 2014. Upon final approval 
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

[[Page 37353]]

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.
    The 60-day Federal Register notice was published on April 22, 2015 
(80 FR 22604). One individual submitted a comment, suggesting that the 
Department actively solicit responses through the U.S. Holocaust 
Memorial Museum email system. The Department believes that this is a 
good suggestion and will explore using that avenue to publicize this 
program.
    Methodology: The information will be collected on a form, the DS-
7713, Statement of Claim, which can be submitted by mail or fax.

    Dated: June 25, 2015.
