SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Abstract On October 24, 2019, the Department published a notice in the Federal Register to announce that it was seeking OMB approval of the DS–5540, Public Charge Questionnaire, and invited public comment for a 60-day period. The 60-day comment period ended on December 23, 2019, and the Department received 92 comments. Approval of this form will permit the Department to implement the Department’s interim final rule on public charge published on October 11, 2019. The Department of Homeland Security has announced that it will begin implementation of its final rule on the public charge ground of inadmissibility on February 24, 2020, in all states other than Illinois. The Department now intends to seek emergency processing of the DS–5540 pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13, because there is insufficient time to complete the ongoing process for OMB form approval under 5 CFR 1320.10 prior to February 24, 2020. The Department seeks to align the Department’s standards with those of the Department of Homeland Security, to avoid situations where a consular officer will evaluate an alien’s circumstances and conclude that the alien is not likely at any time to become a public charge, only for the Department of Homeland Security to evaluate the same alien when he seeks admission to the United States on the visa issued by the Department of State and find the alien inadmissible on public charge grounds under the same facts. Carl C. Risch, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Department of State.
