ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: (1) Type of Information Collection: Emergency Revision of a Currently Approved Collection. (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Online Request to be a Supporter and Declaration of Financial Support. (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the DHS sponsoring the collection: I–134A; USCIS. (4) Abstract: USCIS uses Form I–134A to determine whether a U.S.-based individual meets the necessary qualifications to serve as a supporter of the beneficiary named on the Form I– 134A for the duration of their temporary stay in the United States. This includes collecting information to conduct security checks and assess whether the supporter has sufficient financial resources and access to those funds to support the beneficiary as well as to obtain information concerning whether the beneficiary merits a favorable exercise of discretion under the VerDate Sep<11>2014 statutory parole standard. Form I–134A is filed by a U.S.-based individual (the potential supporter) to request to be a supporter, agree to provide financial support to the beneficiary named on the form for the duration of the beneficiary’s period of stay in the United States, and to provide information concerning why the beneficiary warrants a discretionary grant of parole. In this request, USCIS will require submission of biometrics by supporters as a condition of submission and require payment of a biometric services fee of $30. These changes are needed to enable USCIS to better validate the identity and qualifications of the supporter(s) and perform additional background checks and security vetting. Within the 6month period following emergency approval, USCIS will seek public comment of the information collection package as provided under 5 CFR part 1320 and the Paperwork Reduction Act. HUD is seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the information collection described below. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, HUD is requesting comment from all interested parties on the proposed collection of information. The purpose of this notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment. DATES: Comments Due Date: November 4, 2024. ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding this proposal. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection can be submitted within 60 days of publication of this notice to www.regulations.gov. Interested persons are also invited to submit comments regarding this SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00135 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Title of Information Collection: 2025 American Housing Survey. OMB Approval Number: 2528–0017. Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Form Number: N/A. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The purpose of the American Housing Survey (AHS) is to supply the public with detailed and timely information about housing quality, housing costs, and neighborhood assets, in support of effective housing policy, programs, and markets. Title 12, United States Code, Sections 1701Z–1, 1701Z–2(g), and 1710Z–10a mandates the collection of this information. Increasing field costs and declining response rates have led HUD to adopt a continuous data collection model as opposed to the periodic 5-month data collection every other year. HUD believes continuous data collection will be more effective, primarily because: (1) it eliminates the expensive, timeconsuming Regional Office AHS rampup costs every two years, and (2) it puts in place a more experienced AHS workforce with a constant workload. An added benefit is that we will be able to increase the frequency of national and metro AHS estimates, allowing for more current estimates and better U:\REGISTER\03SEN1.SGM 03SEN1
