The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is seeking public comments on the proposed extension of an approved information collection related to the Registration for Classification as a Refugee. This notice aligns with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and aims to gather input on the need, accuracy, quality, and burden of the information collection process. The public can submit comments until March 4, 2025, through the Federal eRulemaking Portal. The estimated total burden time for this collection is about 183,223 hours annually, at an estimated cost burden of $12,000.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government wants to keep collecting forms from people who want to be refugees, and they are asking people to share their thoughts on this process to make sure it's not too hard or expensive for anyone. They made a special online place where people can share their ideas until early March 2025.
