The Genealogy Program is necessary to provide a more timely response to requests for genealogical and historical records. Form G-1041 is provided as a convenient means for persons to provide data necessary to perform a search of historical agency indices. Form G-1041A provides a convenient means for persons to identify a particular record desired under the Genealogy Program. The forms provide rapid identification of such requests and ensures expeditious handling. Persons such as researchers, historians, and social scientists seeking ancestry information for genealogical, family history and heir location purposes will use Forms G-1041 and G-1041A.

There has been a decrease of 8,816 burden hours associated with this information collection. This is related to a decrease in the estimated number of respondents that avail themselves to requesting historical records. The Agency previously reported the cost associated with the wage rate for the respondents, which is not required, and that amount has been removed. USCIS has made some non-substantive changes to the instructions on how to submit these requests, to clarify the filing instructions and update the Privacy and Paperwork Reduction Act-related languages in the form.
