Short Statement: This is not a rule. Annual cost to federal government should be 37,967,030. System would not allow for adjustment. There is a decrease in the annual estimated hour burden to respondents, due to the removal of fee related content in instructions and consolidation and reformatting of fee related language in the Form G-1055, Fee Schedule. Additionally, DHS has decided to accept evidence of receipt of a means-tested benefit by a household child as evidence of the parent’s inability to pay because eligibility for these means-tested benefits is dependent on household income. DHS also made changes to the Forms I-912 form and instructions to streamline data collection and clarifying instruction contents as part of final rule (RIN: 1615-AC68).

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $24,108,886
