Skip to main content

Original Date Announced
March 31, 2025
The Department of Commerce published a notice informing the public of proposed revisions to an information collection and request for comments relating to the Foreign National Request Form, through which foreign nationals (such as lawful permanent residents (LPRs) or other non-citizens employed at the Department, foreign diplomats or senior government officials, or other foreign nationals visiting the Department for public events) can request access to Department of Commerce facilities.
The proposed form revisions are in response to "the increasing diversity of foreign national participation in [Commerce Department] programs" and aim to "to manage emerging risks associated with physical and logical access to the Department's facilities and resources."
Comments on the proposed revisions must be received by May 30, 2025.
