The data collected on this form is used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine eligibility for the requested immigration benefit of citizenship. The form serves the purpose of standardizing requests for the benefit, and will ensure that the basic information required to assess eligibility is provided by the applicants.
USCIS removing from the "Note" section a requirement indicating that a passport must be issued per the current instruction; there is no requirement for this and eliminating this will eliminate any confusion on the part of the respondent.
There is a decrease in the estimated annual hour burden for this collection of information as a result of the decrease in the estimated number of respondents from 4,272 to 3,000. The hour burden per response did not change. USCIS made minor edits to the form and instructions, but they did not impact the time burden. The estimated annual cost burden to respondents for this collection of information decreased as a result of the decrease in the estimated number of respondents.
