Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Despite a decrease in the estimated number of respondents, the estimated total annual hour burden for this information collection has increased as the result of a correction to the previously reported estimated hour burden per response for Form AR-11 (electronic). In the previous Supporting Statement for this collection, USCIS inconsistently reported the burden as “0.10 hours (10 minutes).” The correct conversion of ten minutes to hours is 0.17 hours, as reported in this Supporting Statement. The additional 0.07 hours per response increased the total annual burden estimate for Form AR-11 (electronic). The estimated burden per response for Form AR-11 (paper) has not changed from the previously reported twelve minutes (0.20 hours). This collection is being submitted as a revision due to the addition of text informing the respondent that filing Form AR-11 (paper or electronic) with USCIS does not update the respondent’s address with the Immigration Court. Changes of address with Immigration Court are filed on Form EOIR-33 (OMB# 1125-0004). The addition of this text to Form AR-11 (paper and electronic) does not significantly impact the estimated burden per response for this collection of information. Therefore, the burden estimates of twelve minutes for paper filing and ten minutes for electronic filing have not changed. The estimated cost to respondents decreased as a result of a decrease in the estimated number of respondents who will incur out-of-pocket costs by submitting Form AR-11 (paper). USCIS previously estimated 360,000 respondents for Form AR-11 (paper). The updated estimate is 170,306 respondents, a decrease of 135,694 respondents.
