The rule also renames the ``Administrative Processing of Formal Renunciation of U.S. Citizenship'' fee, as the ``Administrative Processing of Request for Certificate of Loss of Nationality'' fee, applying the fee to any request for a Certificate of Loss of Nationality whether the individual has relinquished nationality by taking an oath of renunciation or by voluntarily and intentionally performing another potentially expatriating act specified by statute. … Section 22.1, Item 8 becomes effective November 9, 2015. … The fee will be applied to cover not only services to U.S. nationals (i.e., U.S. citizens and non- citizen nationals) who relinquish nationality by taking the oath of renunciation under 8 U.S.C. 1481(a)(5), but also to cover services to U.S. nationals who relinquish nationality under 8 U.S.C. 1481(a)(1) to 1481(a)(4) or any earlier-in-time relinquishment statutes administered by the Department of State and request a Certificate of Loss of Nationality. … The fee would be collected from an individual claiming to have relinquished nationality at the time that person requests the Certificate of Loss of Nationality (that is, after completing Form DS- 4079 and signing before a consular officer Part II of Form DS-4079 entitled ``Statement of Voluntary Relinquishment of U.S. Citizenship'').
