including the validity of the

Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:

Information System (SEVIS).
(3) Agency form number, if any, and

(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief

an internet-based data entry, collection
and reporting system. It collects
information on SEVP-certified school
via the Form I–17, ‘‘Petition for

information on the F and M
nonimmigrant students that the SEVPcertified schools admit into their
