Rule published by State Department on Aug. 22

The US State Department published a three page rule on Aug. 22, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The rule is focused on Bureau of Consular Affairs; Passport and Nationality Procedures Persons Authorized to Issue Passports and Adjudicate Nationality Abroad.

The State Department is responsibly for international relations with a budget of more than $50 billion. Tenure at the State Dept. is increasingly tenuous and it's seen as an extension of the President's will, ambitions and flaws.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
