    Abstract of proposed collection: The information requested will be 
used to support entry of the name of a minor (an unmarried person under 
18) into the Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program (CPIAP). CPIAP 
provides a mechanism for parents or other persons with legal custody of 
a minor to obtain information regarding whether the Department has 
received a passport application for the minor. This program was 
developed as a means to prevent international abduction of a minor or 
to help prevent other travel of a minor without the consent of a parent 
or legal guardian. If a minor's name and other identifying information 
has been entered into the CPIAP, when the Department receives an 
application for a new, replacement, or renewed passport for the minor, 
the application will be placed on hold for up to 90 days and the Office 
of Children's Issues may attempt to notify the requestor of receipt of 
the application. Form DS-3077 will be primarily submitted by a parent 
or legal guardian of a minor. 22 C.F.R Sec.  51.28, which is the 
regulation that implements the statutory two parent consent requirement 
and prescribes the bases for an exception is one of the main legal 
authorities that this form is based from.
    Methodology: The completed form DS-3077 can be filled out online 
and printed or completed by hand. The form must be manually signed and 
submitted to the Office of Children's Issues by email, fax or mail.

    Dated: December 3, 2015.
Henry Hand,
(Acting) Managing Director, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of 
State.
