agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on a revision of a currently
approved information collection
requirement. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), this notice seeks

Form Numbers: FEMA Form 81–92,
Amendments to National Flood
Insurance Program Maps Application
Form for Single Residential Structure or
Lot, (English version) and FEMA Form
81–92A (Spanish version).
Abstract: Requesters complete and
Licensed Land Surveyors or
Professional Engineers certify FEMA
Form 81–92 or 81–92A to request that
FEMA remove a single structure or a
legally recorded parcel of land or
portions thereof from a designated
SFHA via a Letter of Map Amendment
(LOMA). A SFHA is an area that would
be inundated by a flood event that has
a one-percent-annual-chance of being
equaled or exceeded in any given year
(base flood). FEMA uses the information
provided in FEMA Form 81–92 or 81–
92A to make a LOMA determination. A
LOMA is a letter from FEMA stating that
an existing structure or parcel of land
that has not been elevated by fill would
not be inundated by the base flood. Fill
is defined as material placed to raise the
ground to or above the Base Flood
Elevation (BFE).
Affected Public: Individuals or
households (property owners or
lessees); Business or other for-profit
(Licensed Land Surveyors or
Professional Engineers).

Direct Mail Program for Submitting
Application To Replace Permanent
Resident Card, Form I–90
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, Department of
Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services is expanding its
Direct Mail Program to provide that
aliens seeking to renew or replace their
Permanent Resident Card using the
newly revised Form I–90, Application to
Replace Permanent Resident Card, must
file their application at a designated
lock-box facility for initial processing,
instead of at their local U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services office, Service
Center, or Application Support Center.
The Direct Mail Program allows U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services to
more efficiently process applications by
eliminating duplicative work,
maximizing staff productivity, and
introducing better information
management tools.
DATES: This Notice is effective May 31,
2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rebecca Watson, Lockbox Project
Manager, U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, Department of
Homeland Security, 20 Massachusetts
Avenue, NW., Room 1000, Washington,
DC 20529, Telephone (202) 272–1001.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
What is the purpose of the Form I–90?
Form I–90 is used to apply for a
replacement or renewal of Form I–551,
Permanent Resident Card. The specific
requirements and procedures to obtain a
Permanent Resident Card can be found
at 8 CFR 264.5. Approximately one
million of these forms are filed
annually.
Why is a Permanent Resident Card
necessary?
Section 264(d) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA) provides that,
every alien in the United States who has
been registered and fingerprinted ‘‘shall
be issued a certificate of alien
registration or an alien registration
receipt card in such form and manner
and at such time as shall be prescribed
under regulations * * *.’’ Section
264(e) of the INA also provides that
‘‘[e]very alien, eighteen years of age and
over, shall at all times carry with him
and have in his personal possession any
certificate of alien registration or alien
registration receipt card issued to him
* * *. Any alien who fails to comply
with [these] provisions shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor * * *.’’ The Permanent
Resident Card provides documentary
evidence that the bearer has been
granted lawful permanent residence in
the United States and has been
registered.
The specific requirements and
procedures for applying to replace a
permanent resident card (including
renewals of expiring permanent resident
cards) via submission of a Form I–90
with the required initial evidence are set
forth at 8 CFR 264.5.
Explanation of Changes
What is the Direct Mail program?
Does this Notice make any changes
relating to an alien’s eligibility for
issuance of a replacement permanent
resident card?
No. This Notice only effects a change
in the filing location for these
applications.
Under the Direct Mail program,
applicants for certain immigration
benefits mail the designated application
or petition directly to a U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS)
processing center instead of submitting
it to their local USCIS office. The
purpose and strategy of the Direct Mail
program have been discussed in detail
in previous rulemakings and Notices
(see 59 FR 33903, 59 FR 33985, 60 FR
22408, 61 FR 2266, 61 FR 56060, 62 FR
16607, 63 FR 891, 63 FR 892, 63 FR

50584, 63 FR8688, 63 FR 8689, 64 FR
67323, 69 FR 3380, and 69 FR 4210).
Will applicants for replacement
permanent resident cards be required to
make a personal appearance to have
their biometrics captured?
Yes, in accordance with the
instructions contained on the newly
revised Form I–90, applicants will be
notified how to make an appointment to
appear for biometrics processing. Due to
new technological capabilities, USCIS is
now able to store captured biometrics
data to be utilized in the future. This
enhancement will assist applicants by
reducing the number of future visits
needed to the local Application Support
Center throughout the entire
Background
