are grouped into submission categories, with each entry containing the 
following information:

    (2) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection;

abstract;
    (4) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond;

New collection

ABC Class Members.
    (2) INS Form I-855 and M-426. Immigration and Naturalization 
Service, United States Department of Justice.
    (3) Primary: Individuals or households. Others: Not-for-profit 
institutions. As a result of class action litigation concerning asylum

approved settlement in American Baptist Churches v. Thornburgh, 760 F. 
Supp. 796 (N.D. Cal. 1991), and hereinafter referred to as ``the ABC 
Settlement Agreement,'' or ``the Agreement.'' Under the Agreement, 
certain Salvadoran and Guatemalan class members are entitled to a de

[[Page 36435]]
Naturalization Service regulations which were in effect on October 1, 
1990.
    The Special Filing Instructions for ABC Class Members (Form M-426) 
are part of the Immigration and Naturalization Service's continuing 
implementation of the Agreement. The Special Filing Instructions 
clarify procedures class members must follow to pursue and retain 
benefits provided by the Agreement. This explanatory document provides 
necessary information to class members in light of the changes in 
regulations controlling applications for asylum (50 FR 55288, November 
4, 1994) and for work authorization (59 FR 62284, December 5, 1994 and 
60 FR 21973, May 4, 1995) which became effective after approval of this 
Agreement.
    The Special Filing Instructions includes an ``ABC Change of Address 
Form'' (Form I-855), which class members will use to inform the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service of address changes. This form is 
mandated by the Agreement.

    (5) 625,000 annual burden hours.
    (6) Not applicable under Section 3504(h) of Public Law 96-511.
    Public comment on this item is encouraged.
