SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments

    The information collection notice was previously published in the 
Federal Register on January 31, 2018, at 83 FR 4502, allowing for a 60-
day public comment period. USCIS received three substantive comments 
during the 60-day comment period. USCIS previously published a notice 
in the Federal Register requesting comments for 30-days on this 
information collection on April 27, 2018 at 83 FR 18582. We are 
publishing a second 30-day notice in the Federal Register because, 
although two of the comments were not placed in the docket by the end 
of the 60-day comment period, USCIS decided that they were timely, 
should be addressed, and require minor changes to the information 
collection that was submitted to OMB with the previous 30-day notice.
    You may access the information collection instrument with 
instructions, or additional information by visiting the Federal 
eRulemaking Portal site at: http://www.regulations.gov and enter USCIS-
2006-0050 in the search box. Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies should address one or more of the 
following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
