Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) makes it possible for 
U.S. nationals to register on-line from anywhere in the world. In the 
event of a family emergency, natural disaster or international crisis, 
U.S. embassies and consulates rely on this registration information to 
provide critical information and assistance to them. 22 U.S.C. 2715 is 
one of the main legal authorities that deem the usage of this form 
necessary.

Methodology

    99% of responses are received via electronic submission on the 
Internet. The service is available on the Department of State, Bureau 
of Consular Affairs Web site http://travel.state.gov at https://step.state.gov/step/. The paper version of the collection permits 
respondents who do not have Internet access to provide the information 
to the U.S. embassy or consulate by fax, mail or in person.

Managing Director, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Overseas Citizen 
Services, Department of State.
