Sec. 2.2  Purpose.

    Section 1116(b)(2) of title 18 of the United States Code, as added 
by Pub. L. 92-539, An Act for the Protection of Foreign Officials and 
Official Guests of the United States (86 Stat. 1071), defines the term 
``foreign official'' for purposes of that Act as ``any person of a 
foreign nationality who is duly notified to the United States as an 
officer or employee of a foreign government or international 
organization, and who is in the United States on official business, and 
any member of his family whose presence in the United States is in 
connection with the presence of such officer or employee.'' Section 
1116(c)(4) of the same Act defines the term ``official guest'' for the 
purposes of that Act as ``a citizen or national of a foreign country 
present in the United States as an official guest of the Government of 
the United States pursuant to designation as such by the Secretary of 
State.'' It is the purpose of this regulation to specify the officer of 
the Department of State who shall be responsible for receiving 
notification of foreign officials under the Act and determining whether 
persons are ``duly notified'' to the United States and who shall be 
responsible for processing official guest designations by the Secretary 
of State.
