Short Statement:
The current hour inventory approved for this form is 110,127 hours, and the requested new total hour burden is 47,545 which is a decrease of 62,582.16 annual burden hours. This change in burden results from the agency’s better estimates of the number of respondents and time burden associated with these requests. USCIS continues to disclose the burden estimate associated with the collection of DNA, which is reduced by 78 burden hours. There is a decrease of 62,582.16 hours in the estimated hour burden associated with this information collection due a decrease in the number of respondents. USCIS has updated this information based on better estimates derived from data collected since the previous information collection request. There is no change in the information being collected. The cost burden inventory approved for this form is $6,973,662, and the requested new total cost burden is $81,604,586 which is an increase of $74,630,935 burden costs. This change in burden results from the agency’s better estimates of the number of respondents and cost burden associated with these requests. While there is a decrease in the number of respondents, the increase in cost burden is due to accounting for costs not previously included in previous estimates, such as costs for Primary Adoption Providers and postage. There is no change in the information being collected.
