     Originating Office: Bureau of Consular Affairs, Overseas

     Form Number: DS-5528.
     Respondents: U.S. citizens, U.S. non-citizen nationals, 
lawful permanent residents, and third country nationals applying for 
emergency loan assistance during an evacuation.
     Estimated Number of Respondents: 525.
     Estimated Number of Responses: 525.
     Average Time per Response: 20 minutes.
     Total Estimated Burden Time: 175 hours.

    We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department to:

Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The purpose of the DS-5528 is to document the evacuation of persons 
from abroad when their lives are endangered by war, civil unrest, or 
natural disaster; document issuance of a crisis evacuation loan; obtain 
a Privacy Act Waiver to share information about the welfare of a U.S. 
citizen or U.S. lawful permanent resident consistent with the Privacy 
Act of 1974; and, to facilitate debt collection.

Methodology

    An electronic version of the Evacuee Manifest and Promissory Note 
was created, allowing applicants to type their information into the 
form, print it, and present it to a consular officer at the evacuation 
point. Continued software development will provide the capability to 
electronically submit signed loan applications for adjudication. The 
final stage of software development will not only allow the applicant 
to enter his/her information and submit the form, but will also make 
the information available for all stages of financial processing 
including the Department of State's debt collection process. Due to the 
potential for serious conditions during crisis events that often affect 
electronic and internet infrastructure systems, the electronic form 
will not replace the paper form. Rather, the paper form will still be 
maintained and used in the event that applicants are unable to submit 
forms electronically.

Michelle Bernier-Toth,
Managing Director, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Overseas Citizens 
Services, Department of State.
