SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments
This information collection notice was previously published in the
Federal Register for 60-day public comment period on January 31, 2018,
at 83 FR 4504, allowing for a 60-day public comment period. A 30-day

You may access the information collection instrument with
instructions, or additional information by visiting the Federal
eRulemaking Portal site at: http://www.regulations.gov and enter USCIS-
2006-0052 in the search box. Regardless of the method used for
submitting comments or material, all submissions will be posted,
without change, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov, and will include any personal information you
provide. Therefore, submitting this information makes it public. You
may wish to consider limiting the amount of personal information that
you provide in any voluntary submission you make to DHS. DHS may
withhold information provided in comments from public viewing that it
determines may impact the privacy of an individual or is offensive. For
additional information, please read the Privacy Act notice that is
available via the link in the footer of http://www.regulations.gov.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies should address one or more of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of information collection: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the form/collection: Application for Replacement
Naturalization/Citizenship Document.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
DHS sponsoring the collection: N-565; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. The form
is provided by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to
determine the applicant's eligibility for a replacement document. An
applicant may file for a replacement if he or she was issued one of the
documents described above and it was lost, mutilated, or destroyed; if
the document is incorrect due to a typographical or clerical error by
USCIS; if the applicant's name was changed by a marriage or by court
order after the document was issued and the applicant now seeks a
document in the new name; or if the applicant is seeking a change of
the gender listed on their document after obtaining a court order, a
U.S. Government-issued document, or a letter from a licensed health
care professional recognizing that the applicant's gender is different
from that listed on their current document. The only document that can
be replaced on the basis of a change to the applicant's date of birth,
as evidenced by a court order or a U.S. Government-issued document is
the Certificate of Citizenship. If the applicant is a naturalized
citizen who desires to obtain recognition as a citizen of the United
States by a foreign country, he or she may apply for a special
certificate for that purpose.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated
