necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;

the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection Request: 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.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated 
total number of respondents for the information collection N-565 is
