Title: ASSURANCE BY A UNITED STATES SPONSOR IN BEHALF OF AN APPLICANT FOR REFUGEE
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 07/24/1991
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/03/1991
Terms of Clearance: This for is approved until 5/92. INS should consider these following issues in the next year to revise I-591 as part of its overall Forms Improvement Project: (1) Uniformity with data base improvements underway currently, (2) Deletion of categories which do not serve practical utility, (a) Date of birth and place of birth. If used as a extra identifer, one category is sufficient. Otherwise, these two factors do not serve to increase knowledge about the person's qualifications to sponsor refugees. (b) Date of birth and place of refugee applicants. Same concerns as above. The A# in this case should be sufficient to properly identify the individuals. (3) Provision of Housing. Rather than having the sponsor include an additional page describing the type of housing that is available, include this information collection in the one page form.
