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.
