Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 130 / Tuesday, July 8, 2014 / Notices tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES (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: New Collection. (2) Title of the Form/Collection: DNA Evidence in Refugee Processing. (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the DHS sponsoring the collection: G–1294, DNA Collection Consent Form (Laboratory Test) and G–1295, DNA Collection Consent Form (Rapid Test); USCIS. (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. Overseas applicants for refugee status filing through the USCIS Form I–590 (OMB Control Number 1615–0068) that have a spouse and/or child(ren) must meet all requirements of Immigration and Nationality Act § 207(c)(2) and have the necessary burden of proof to establish the relationship(s). In the case of a parent-child relationship, there is often a degree of difficulty in establishing this for refugee populations that often lack reliable documentation. USCIS is seeking to allow I–590 applicants to provide DNA testing results through an AABB accredited laboratory, and in coordination with the USCIS overseas office, to provide effective and credible evidence of this parent-child relationship. USCIS is also seeking to conduct simultaneous Rapid DNA testing as a pilot to make a determination if the Rapid DNA machines provide a valid alternative to traditional DNA testing. USCIS will be collecting samples for traditional DNA testing through an AABB accredited laboratory in conjunction with the Rapid DNA pilot to test the validity of the results obtained during the pilot. The collection of DNA, regardless of process employed, is strictly voluntary and refusal to provide a sample does not adversely impact an applicant’s I–590 application. (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 60 respondents for the standard DNA process with a total of 360 hours of burden with an estimated VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:48 Jul 07, 2014 Jkt 232001 average of 6 hours per response. 250 respondents for the Rapid DNA process with a total of 110 hours of burden with an estimated average of .44 hours per response. (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The total estimated annual public burden for this collection of information is 470 hours.
