Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 154 / Thursday, August 11, 2022 / Notices
Americans, which shall include
members of agencies that implement
policies that impact immigrant
communities.
In response to E.O. 14012, on July 2,
2021, the Secretaries of Homeland
Security and Veterans Affairs
announced a new joint initiative, the
Immigrant Military Members and
Veterans Initiative (IMMVI), to support
our Nation’s noncitizen service
members, veterans, and their immediate
family members and directed their
departments to identify and prioritize
the return of military service members,
veterans, and their immediate family
members who were unjustly removed
from the United States and ensure that
they receive the benefits to which they
may be entitled.
The information to be collected for
self-disclosure would include: ANumber, USCIS Receipt Numbers (if
any), Name, Date of Birth, Country of
Residence, Email, Phone Number,
Branch and Dates of Military Service,
Address, reason for requesting
assistance, and Name and Contact
Information of Representative, if
applicable.
To carry out the goals of IMMVI, DHS
is proposing this new data collection to
offer noncitizen current and former
military members and their families an
opportunity to seek assistance from
DHS. The purpose of this information
collection is to achieve efficiencies in
making contact with individuals, better
understand their needs, and track and
report the number and types of inquiries
received. This information will assist
DHS in improving access to immigration
services and VA health benefits. DHS
plans to collect relevant information to
provide assistance at the point the
individual submits this information on
the new website for benefits and
immigration assistance. The information
collected through this public facing
webform will be voluntarily provided
by the users. A new webform hosted on
dhs.gov will be established to allow for
individuals to submit the necessary
information to make contact with the
government to seek assistance.
Additionally, the government provides
an email address for those who are not
able to access the webform. The
government will then reach out to the
individual to provide them with the
necessary information needed to request
immigration or VA benefits. The
progress of the inquiries will be tracked
in a DHS case management system.
The non-citizen current or former
servicemember or their family member
will submit their information through a
webform on dhs.gov. The information
will be transmitted to government

systems and shared with the
cooperating DHS components and
agencies assisting the former military
members and their families. All
information related to the individual’s
request and action taken by the
government will be noted in the case
management system for tracking and
appropriate follow through and action.
If the collection of information impacts
small businesses or other small entities
(Item 5 of OMB Form 83–I), describe
any methods used to minimize burden.
All information received through the
DHS website will be reviewed by
trained DHS federal staff assigned to
IMMVI and stored in a DHS case
management system. No information
will be shared with other agencies
without the appropriate privacy releases
from the individuals accessing the
portal. All information received through
the portal and any actions taken in
response to the information collected
will be stored in a DHS case
management system.
This is a new information collection
request.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
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 submissions
of responses.
