This collection is approved for 6 months due to DHS' inability to resolve issues identified in its review. OMB is providing this grace period so as not to absorb DHS resources required for the response to Hurricane Katrina. DHS must resubmit this collection for OMB review and approval, including an appendix responding ex- plicitly to current OMB concerns, before the expiration for the 6 month period provided here. Prior to resubmission, OMB will work with DHS and CIS leadership to improve CIS' ability to manage its PRA process. Unresolved issues include large, unjustified, and possibly mis- calculated changes in burden hours and costs.
