individuals abroad, including death
cases, loan and destitution cases,
welfare and whereabouts cases, prisoner

arrest cases; assistance to minors,
including children who may be victims
of abuse, neglect, or who are abandoned
or runaways; assistance to individuals
involved in child support enforcement
proceedings; persons collecting federal
benefits overseas; and the resolution of
property, estate, and benefits claims
arising under the pertinent statutes;
assistance to individuals involved in
international adoption cases and in
possible or actual international child
custody disputes and/or international
parental child abduction cases,
including the fulfillment of the
Department’s obligations and duties as
the United States Central Authority
under the Hague Adoption and
Abduction Conventions and related
authorities; oversight of accredited and
approved adoption service providers
and the designated accrediting entities
of adoption service providers. The
system will include modifications and
updates to all sections, including a new
exemption under (k)(4).
The Department’s report was filed
with the Office of Management and
