SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments

    This information collection notice was previously published in the 
Federal Register for 60-day public comment period on January 31, 2018, 
at 83 FR 4504, allowing for a 60-day public comment period. A 30-day 
notice was published on June 26, 2018 at 83 FR 29811. USCIS is 
publishing a second Notice for 60-day public comment period to allow 
for comments on additional changes to the form and instructions.
    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-
2006-0052 in the search box. Regardless of the method used for 
submitting comments or material, all submissions will be posted, 
without change, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov, and will include any personal information you 
provide. Therefore, submitting this information makes it public. You 
may wish to consider limiting the amount of personal information that 
you provide in any voluntary submission you make to DHS. DHS may 
withhold information provided in comments from public viewing that it 
determines may impact the privacy of an individual or is offensive. For 
additional information, please read the Privacy Act notice that is 
available via the link in the footer of http://www.regulations.gov.
    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.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of information collection: Revision of a Currently 
Approved Collection.
    (2) Title of the form/collection: Application for Replacement 
Naturalization/Citizenship Document.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
DHS sponsoring the collection: N-565; USCIS.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. The form 
is provided by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to 
determine the applicant's eligibility for a replacement document. An 
applicant may file for a replacement if he or she was issued one of the 
documents described above and it was lost, mutilated, or destroyed; if 
the document is incorrect due to a typographical or clerical error by 
USCIS; if the applicant's name was changed by a marriage or by court 
order after the document was issued and the applicant now seeks a 
document in the new name; or if the applicant is seeking a change of 
the gender listed on their document after obtaining a court order, a 
U.S. Government-issued document, or a letter from a licensed health 
care professional recognizing that the applicant's gender is different 
from that listed on their current document. The only document that can 
be replaced on the basis of a change to the applicant's date of birth, 
as evidenced by a court order or a U.S. Government-issued document is 
the Certificate of Citizenship. If the applicant is a naturalized 
citizen who desires to obtain recognition as a citizen of the United 
States by a foreign country, he or she may apply for a special 
certificate for that purpose.
    (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 N-565 is 
27,690 and the estimated hour burden per response is 1.33 hours; the 
estimated total number of respondents for the information collection 
Biometrics is 27,690 and the estimated hour burden per response is 1.17 
hours.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total estimated annual hour burden associated 
with this collection is 69,225 hours.
    (7) An estimate of the total public burden (in cost) associated 
with the collection: The estimated total annual cost burden associated 
with this collection of information is $3,392,025.
