    Abstract of proposed collection:
    The Application for Additional Visa Pages (DS-4085) Form has been 
developed to replace the Amendment and Validation Application (DS-19) 
Form. With the introduction of the ``electronic passport,'' it will no 
longer be possible to amend U.S. passports. The DS-4085 has been 
developed to serve one of the functions of Form DS-19. Applicants will 
use the DS-4085 Form to add additional visa pages to their valid U.S. 
passports. The electronic passport will contain a chip that stores 
information from the data page of the passport. The information on the 
data page and that contained on the chip must match. The addition of 
visa pages will not change information on the data page or alter the 
chip.
    Methodology:
    Passport Services collects information from U.S. citizens and non-
citizen nationals when they complete and submit the Application for 
Additional Visa Pages Form. Passport applicants can either download the 
form from the Internet or obtain one from an Acceptance Facility/
Passport Agency. The form must be completed and then signed. The form 
is then submitted along with the original passport.

    Dated: June 17, 2005.
Ann Barrett,
Acting, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services, Bureau of 
Consular Affairs, Department of State.
