Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The Office of Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service 
(EDCS) manages the solicitation and acceptance of gifts to the U.S. 
Department of State. The information requested via donor letters is a 
necessary first step to accepting donations. The information is sought 
pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2697, 5 U.S.C. 7324 and 22 CFR part 3, and will 
be used by EDCS's Gift Fund Coordinator to demonstrate the donor's 
intention to donate either an in-kind or monetary gift to the 
Department. This information is mandatory and must be completed before 
the gift is received by the Department.

Methodology

    The information collection forms are available electronically via 
the State Department's Intranet website (https://myapps.servicenowservices) for program offices who have authority to 
solicit or accept donations on behalf of the Department. Donors can 
also request and complete hard copies of the form if internet access is 
not available. After completion, the donor mails all forms to EDCS.

Crystal F. Jobe,
Director, Gift Funds and K Fund Coordinator, CGFS/ECDS, Department of 
State.
