ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
published in the Federal Register of Wednesday, June 12, 1996 (61 FR 
29651). The regulations related to State Department Nationality 
Procedures. A misprint occurred which omitted part of one sentence. 
This correction adds the omitted language. This correction also updates

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Edward A. Betancourt, or Michael Meszaros, Overseas Citizens Services, 
Department of State, 202-647-3666.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule published on June 12, 
1996, the Department revised its procedures concerning loss of 
nationality. 22 CFR 50.40 describes certain acts for which citizens 
need not submit evidence of intent to retain U.S. nationality. Because 
of an error, the last part of the second sentence in 22 CFR 50.40 was 
omitted. This correction adds the missing sentence. In addition, in the 
authorities, citations to current sections of the United States Code 
replace original citations.

PART 50--NATIONALITY PROCEDURES

    Accordingly, 22 CFR Part 50 is corrected as follows:
    1. The authority section for 22 CFR Part 50 is revised to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 22 U.S.C. 211a, 22 U.S.C. 2051a, 2705, 8 U.S.C. 1104, 
1503.

    2. In Sec. 50.40(a), add the following in the second sentence after 
the first occurrence of the word ``U.S.'': ``citizens who naturalize in 
a foreign country; take a routine oath of allegiance; or accept non-
policy level employment with a foreign government need not submit''.

    Dated: April 15, 1998.
Donna Hamilton,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs.
