Background
prescribes that FEMA must annually
adjust the maximum amount for
assistance provided under the
Individuals and Households (IHP)
Program. FEMA gives notice that the
maximum amount of IHP financial
assistance provided to an individual or
household under section 408 of the
Stafford Act with respect to any single
emergency or major disaster is $31,400.
The increase in award amount as stated
above is for any single emergency or
major disaster declared on or after
October 1, 2011. In addition, in
accordance with 44 CFR 61.17(c), this
adjustment includes the maximum
amount of available coverage under any
Group Flood Insurance Policy (GFIP)
issued for those disasters.
FEMA bases the adjustment on an
increase in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers of 3.8 percent
for the 12-month period ended in
August 2011. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor released the information on
September 15, 2011.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) is transforming its
business processes and systems to
improve operational efficiency and
customer service, and to strengthen the
security and integrity of the immigration
system. As part of this effort, USCIS
may modify its data collection practices
to eventually convert all data collections
to e-filing in the USCIS ELIS. The intent
of this change is to improve the
consistency and timeliness of its
immigration benefit adjudications, as
well as to support identity management,
evaluate benefit eligibility, promote
customer service, and manage national
security and benefit risk. This change
will also serve to bring USCIS in to
compliance with the Government
Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA),
Public Law 105–277, tit. XVII, section
1703, 112 Stat. 2681, 2681–749 (Oct. 21,
1998), 44 U.S.C. 3504 note, and the EGovernment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
63941
347, 116 Stat. 2899, 44 U.S.C. 3601
note). GPEA provides that Federal
agencies use electronic forms, electronic
filing, and electronic submissions, when
possible, to conduct agency business
with the public. The E-Government Act
promotes the use of the Internet by
federal agencies through efforts like
USCIS’ Business Transformation
initiative.
The USCIS ELIS will be implemented
by USCIS and made available in
increments for the public to submit
various benefit requests over the next
few years USCIS has termed these
increments ‘‘releases’’ and ‘‘phases.’’ As
each phase is implemented, DHS will
announce each benefit request type that
has been converted to an e-filing format
in the USCIS ELIS, if the USCIS ELIS
will be the sole filing option available,
or if the option of filing a paper form
will remain available for that benefit for
all or certain groups that may seek to
submit the applicable request. In
general, the USCIS ELIS will follow the
immigration ‘‘lifecycle’’ to first include
nonimmigrant benefits, proceeding
eventually to applications for
naturalization.
The first benefit type available in the
automated USCIS ELIS under Release A,
Phase 1, will be the Application to
Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status.
Beginning in December 2011, USCIS
customers will be able to apply for an
extension or change of their
nonimmigrant status using the USCIS
ELIS or continue to use the current
paper Form I–539 (OMB Control No.
1615–0003). In the future, however,
USCIS may allow the current paper
Form I–539 to expire, eliminate the
option of filing on a paper form, and
instead require this benefit application
to be filed through the automated USCIS
ELIS. USCIS is very interested in
receiving comments concerning
mandatory e-filing of this benefit and
any future benefits that are added to the
automated ELIS. USCIS also welcomes
comments on which groups,
individuals, or businesses for which it
would be the most appropriate for
USCIS to require (or not require)
electronic filing of all benefit requests.
The supporting statement for this
information collection contains a more
detailed description of the USCIS
Business Transformation initiative and
wizard technology. The supporting
statement can be viewed at: https://
www.regulations.gov/.
USCIS is also interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues:

collection of information is necessary
