Sec. 2.3  Notification of foreign officials.

    (a) Any notification of a foreign official for purposes of section 
1116(b)(2) of Title 18 of the United States Code shall be directed by 
the foreign government or international organization concerned to the 
Chief of Protocol, Department of State, Washington, DC 20520. For 
persons normally accredited to the United States in diplomatic or 
consular capacities and also for persons normally accredited to the 
United Nations and other international organizations and in turn 
notified to the Department of State, the procedure for placing a person 
in the statutory category of being ``duly notified to the United 
States'' shall be the current procedure for accreditation, with 
notification in turn when applicable. The Chief of the Office of 
Protocol will place on the roster of persons ``duly notified to the 
United States'' the names of all persons currently accredited and, when 
applicable, notified in turn, and will maintain the roster as part of 
the official files of the Department of State adding to and deleting 
therefrom as changes in accreditations occur.

    (b) For those persons not normally accredited, the Chief of Protocol 
shall determine upon receipt of notification, by letter from the foreign 
government or international organization concerned, whether any person 
who is the subject of such a notification has been duly notified under 
the Act. Any inquiries by law enforcement officers or other persons as 
to whether a person has been duly notified shall be directed to the 
Chief of Protocol. The determination of the Chief of Protocol that a 
person has been duly notified is final.
