Download as PDF jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES 58524 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 186 / Tuesday, September 27, 2022 / Notices • Your Form I–94, Arrival/Departure Record; • Your Form I–797, Notice of Action, reflecting approval of your Form I–765; or • Form I–797, Notice of Action, reflecting approval or receipt of a past or current Form I–821. Check with the government agency regarding which document(s) the agency will accept. Some benefit-granting agencies use the SAVE program to confirm the current immigration status of applicants for public benefits. While SAVE can verify when an individual has TPS, each agency’s procedures govern whether they will accept an unexpired EAD, Form I–797, or Form I–94, Arrival/Departure Record. If an agency accepts the type of TPSrelated document you are presenting, such as an EAD, the agency should accept your automatically extended EAD, regardless of the country of birth listed on the EAD. Regardless of the TPS-related document you present, it may assist the agency if you: a. Present the agency with a copy of the relevant Federal Register notice listing the TPS-related document, including any applicable auto-extension of the document, along with your recent TPS-related document with your ANumber, or USCIS number; b. Explain that SAVE will be able to verify the continuation of your TPS using this information; and c. Ask the agency to initiate a SAVE query with your information and follow through with additional verification steps, if necessary, to get a final SAVE response verifying your TPS. You can also ask the agency to look for SAVE notices or contact SAVE if they have any questions about your immigration status or automatic extension of TPS-related documentation. In most cases, SAVE provides an automated electronic response to benefit-granting agencies within seconds, but occasionally verification can be delayed. You can check the status of your SAVE verification by using CaseCheck at save.uscis.gov/casecheck/. CaseCheck is a free service that lets you follow the progress of your SAVE verification case using your date of birth and one immigration identifier number (ANumber, USCIS number, or Form I–94 number) or Verification Case Number. If an agency has denied your application based solely or in part on a SAVE response, the agency must offer you the opportunity to appeal the decision in accordance with the agency’s procedures. If the agency has received and acted on or will act on a SAVE verification and you do not believe the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Sep 26, 2022 Jkt 256001 SAVE response is correct, the SAVE website, www.uscis.gov/save, has detailed information on how to make corrections or update your immigration record, make an appointment, or submit a written request to correct records.

hours of response: The form is used by entities when they apply for

we expect that there will be 14,375 respondents who may need to use 
this form. HUD estimates that it will take half an hour to complete the

2022 Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics report on

    Estimation of the Cost to the Federal government: The following 
Table 2 shows the estimated burden of Federal financial assistance 
review. HUD estimates the cost of the maximum burden on HUD staff would

that each form would be reviewed for one hour by a GS13 step 5 
performing a review, and then by a GS 14 and a GS15 who will look at 
summary results on an annual basis.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Federal staff time is estimated for a GS-13 step 5 hourly 
rate at $58.01 per hour (from the Office of Personnel Management and 
the table with Washington-Baltimore-Arlington locality pay), plus 
16% fringe benefit for a total of $67.29 per hour, as well as 15 
minutes each for a GS-14 step 5 at $72.19/hr and a GS-15 step 5 at
