Unit, Criminal Division, Suite 1127 Keeney Building, NW., Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Justice for United States Victims of 
State Sponsored Terrorism Act (Act), passed as part of the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2016, Public Law 114-113, mandated the 
establishment of the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism 
Fund (Fund). Pursuant to the Act, the Fund may

[[Page 45540]]

compensate eligible United States persons who (1) hold a final judgment 
issued by a United States district court awarding the applicant 
compensatory damages arising from acts of international terrorism for 
which a foreign state sponsor of terrorism was found not immune from 
the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States under the Foreign 
Sovereign Immunities Act; or (2) were taken and held hostage from the 
United States Embassy in Tehran, Iran, during the period beginning 
November 4, 1979, and ending January 20, 1981, or are spouses and 
children of these hostages, if also identified as a member of the 
proposed class in case number 1:00-CV-03110 (EGS) of the United States 
District Court for the District of Columbia. In order to establish 
eligibility for compensation, claimants must provide sufficient 
information for a determination by the Special Master for the USVSST 
Fund, of whether they are eligible, and if so, what amount of 
compensation. The Act also mandates collection of information regarding 
other sources of compensation related to the judgment which may modify 
the amount of compensation. This system of records is being established 
to enable the prompt adjudication of these claims.
    Elsewhere in the Federal Register, the Department has provided the 
eligibility requirements and procedures for the submission and 
consideration of applications to the Fund. More detailed information 
regarding the Fund, including answers to frequently asked questions, is 
available on the U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Web site at 
www.usvsst.com.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), the Department is providing a 
report to OMB and Congress on the new systems of records.
