ABSTRACT: The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (FCSC)
established the Claims Against Albania system of records when it
began adjudicating claims against Albania under the Agreement Between
the Government of the United States and the Government of the Republic
of Albania on the Settlement of Certain Outstanding Claims, signed
March 10, 1995, and entered into force April 18, 1995, pursuant
to its ongoing authorization to adjudicate claims set forth in
Title I of the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949, as
amended (22 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.).
The records are organized sequentially by claim number and indexed
alphabetically by surname of claimant. Follow this link to
view the Alphabetical Listing of Albanian
Claimants.
PURPOSE: The system is maintained for collection
and preservation of evidence and information on claims submitted
to the FCSC by United States nationals for expropriation or other
taking of property by the former Albanian Communist regime, and
also contains the FCSC's written determinations of the validity
and amount of those claims. Upon completion of the claims
adjudication process, which is expected to occur at or about the
end of 1998, the records system will become inactive and will be
transferred to storage at the Federal Records Center.
ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: The alphabetical
listing of claimants whose claims are comprised by the records
system may be accessed on this web page. However, the
records system itself exists only in paper form.
The information in the records system is public information, and
is available for inspection and copying in the FCSC's offices during
the hours of service set forth above. The information is
also available upon request sent by mail, e-mail, telephone, and
FAX.
AGENCY PROGRAM: The Claims Against Albania records system
supports the FCSC's
issuance of decisions in its ongoing adjudication of claims against
Albania, and the certification of awards made in those decisions
to the Department of the Treasury for payment out of the Albania
claims fund.
SOURCES OF DATA: Most of the information in the records
system has been provided by the claimants. Some additional information
has been collected by the FCSC's independent consultants in Albania.
