Short Statement: There is a decrease in the annual burden hours previously reported for this information collection. This change is due to an adjustment in agency's estimates for the number of respondents associated with this collection and the time associated with preparing and filing this request. USCIS previously reported 38,926 as the estimated number of respondents but it is now reporting 25,465 as the estimated number of respondents. USCIS previously requested approval for 58,389, while it is now seeking approval of 37,072. As a result, the annual burden hours have decreased by 21,317 burden hours. USCIS is also reporting the new burden breakdown that reflects the number of respondents it estimates will file this request electronically, as well as the time burden associated with these filings. USCIS estimates that of those 25,465 responses it estimates it will receive, 6,621 will be submitted electronically and the time burden associated with such responses is 1.33 hours.
