Background On February 2, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order (E.O.) 14012, ‘‘Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Efforts for New Americans.’’ 1 In E.O. 14012, President Biden announced his objective to encourage ‘‘full participation by immigrants’’ and directed responsible Federal agencies to identify strategies that promote ‘‘integration, inclusion, and citizenship’’ and ‘‘identify barriers that impede access to immigration benefits and fair, efficient adjudications of these benefits.’’ Executive Order 13707, ‘‘Using Behavioral Science Insights to Better Serve the American People’’ (Sept. 18, 2015), states that ‘‘the Federal Government should design its policies 1 ‘‘Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Efforts for New Americans,’’ 86 FR 8277 (Feb. 5, 2021). PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and programs to reflect our best understanding of how people engage with, participate in, use, and respond to those policies and programs.’’ 2 President Biden’s Memorandum on Restoring Trust in Government through Scientific Integrity and Evidence-Based Policymaking (Jan. 27, 2021), refers to Executive Order 13707 and calls for ‘‘the evidence-based and iterative development and the equitable delivery of policies, programs, and agency operations,’’ including approaches ‘‘that may be informed by the social and behavioral sciences and data science.’’ 3 To achieve President Biden’s objectives, DHS is soliciting public input to better understand and identify administrative barriers and burdens (including paperwork requirements, waiting time, and other obstacles) that impair the functions of the USCIS process and unnecessarily impede access to USCIS immigration benefits. The relevant burdens might be imposed on state, local, and tribal governments; businesses, including small businesses and startups; educational institutions; nonprofits; households; and individuals. DHS is also seeking input to help identify current USCIS processes or those previously in place that promote equity and inclusion and learn how USCIS might leverage and incorporate those successes and lessons learned in other immigration benefits and adjudication processes. Independent of the current Request for Public Input, DHS continually evaluates its regulatory program for rules that are candidates for retrospective review. DHS does so through legally mandated retrospective review requirements (for example, Unified Agenda of Planned Regulatory Actions reviews and reviews under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 610) and through other informal and long-established mechanisms (for example, use of Advisory Councils, feedback from DHS field personnel, input from internal working groups, and outreach to regulated entities). Today’s notice is separate from these existing DHS retrospective review efforts. III. Request for Input A. Importance of Public Feedback To achieve the objectives outlined in E.O. 14012, E.O. 13707, and the Presidential Memorandum on Restoring 2 ‘‘Using Behavioral Science Insights to Better Serve the American People,’’ 80 FR 56365 (Sept. 18, 2015). 3 ‘‘Restoring Trust in Government through Scientific Integrity and Evidence-Based Policymaking,’’ 86 FR 8845 (Feb. 10, 2021).
