The regulations set forth in 22 CFR Part 62 implement the Department of State's Exchange Visitor Program, including the use of SEVIS (Subpart F) to facilitate timely reporting and monitoring of international students and exchange visitors (EVs) in the US. SEVIS is an Internet-based application for electronically tracking and reporting on EVs, and enables schools and program sponsors to transmit information electronically to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of State. Additional non-electronic requirements under 22 CFR Part 62 are also covered in this submission.
US Code:
22 USC 2451
Name of Law: Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
PL: Pub.L. 104 - 208 641 Name of Law: Illegal Immigrant Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1966
The change in burden hours reflects the addition of the category of intern and additional reporting of information and gathering of supporting documentation necessary for compliance with regulatory changes adopted in 1993 (22 CFR Part 62). The decrease in responses is a result of more accurate record keeping due to full implementation of the SEVIS system since the last submission, which also resulted in a decrease in cost burden.
