Download as PDF jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES 68908 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 211 / Friday, October 30, 2020 / Notices (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the DHS sponsoring the collection: G–845; USCIS. (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Primary: Federal Government; State, local or Tribal Government. In the verification process, a participating agency validates an applicant’s immigration status by inputting identifying information into the Verification Information System (VIS), which executes immigration status queries against a range of data sources. If VIS returns an immigration status and the benefit-issuing agency does not find a material discrepancy with the response and the documents provided by the applicant, the verification process is complete. Then, the agency may use that immigration status information in determining whether or not to issue the benefit. In some cases, agencies that do not access the automated verification system may query USCIS by filing Form G–845. Although the Form G–845 does not require it, if needed certain agencies may also file the Form G–845 Supplement with the Form G–845, along with copies of immigration documents to receive additional information necessary to make their benefit determinations. These forms were developed to facilitate communication between all benefitgranting agencies and USCIS to ensure that basic information required to assess status verification requests is provided. USCIS is making minor revisions to the Form G–845 and is streamlining the Form G–845 Supplement with additional immigration statuses that are commonly requested by agencies in order to make their benefit determinations. (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 VIS Query is 19,916,942 and the estimated hour burden per response is 0.083 hour. The estimated total number of respondents for the information collection G–845 is 7 and the estimated hour burden per response is 0.083 hour. The estimated total number of respondents for the information collection G–845 Supplement is 44 and the estimated hour burden per response is 0.083 hour. (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 1,653,110 hours. VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:10 Oct 29, 2020 Jkt 253001 (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 $64. The collection of information is primarily electronic in nature, but USCIS anticipates a small number of mailings, and the cost accounts for that postage. Dated: October 26, 2020.

See 84 FR 62280. That rule proposed to eliminate this information collection.
