the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;

be collected; and

submission of responses.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Consideration of Deferred Action

    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
DHS sponsoring the collection: I-821D; USCIS.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or Households. The 
information collected on this form is used by USCIS to determine 
eligibility of certain individuals who were brought to the United 
States as children and meet the following guidelines to be considered 
for deferred action for childhood arrivals:

of the deferred action for childhood arrivals process. Those who submit 
requests with USCIS and demonstrate that they meet the threshold 
guidelines may have removal action in their case deferred for a period 
of two years, subject to renewal (if not terminated), based on an 
individualized, case by case assessment of the individual's equities.

considered for deferred action for childhood arrivals, except in 
exceptional circumstances.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated 
total number of respondents for the information collection I-821D 
initial requests is 45,645 and the estimated hour burden per response 
is 136,935 hours. The estimated total number of respondents for the 
information collection I-821D renewal requests is 427,207 and the

    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
