with the requirements of 5 CFR 1320.12(c). 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

    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: Extension, Without Change, of a 
Currently Approved Collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: myE-Verify Program.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
DHS sponsoring the collection: G-1499; USCIS.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals and Households. The myE-
Verify (previously E-Verify Self Check) collection allows workers in 
the United States to enter data into the E-Verify system to ensure that 
the information relating to their eligibility to work is correct and 
accurate. This is necessary so that workers in the United States can 
correct their records before a hiring decision is made. This will lead 
to a more reliable and accurate E-Verify system that works better for 
both employers and employees.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated 
total number of respondents for the information collection G-1499 is 
250,000 and the estimated hour burden per response is 0.0833 hours. Of 
this 250,000, an estimated 75,000 respondents will need to correct 
information that may have been entered incorrectly to continue using 
myE-Verify; this estimated burden per response is 0.0833 hours. Of this 
250,000, an estimated 10,000 respondents may be required to pursue 
further action to correct their records at the appropriate agency; this 
estimated burden per response is 1.183 hours. Of this 250,000, an 
estimated 25,000 respondents will be required to provide additional 
information for a second Authentication Check; this estimated burden 
per response is 0.25 hours.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total estimated annual hour burden associated 
with this collection is 45,153 hours.
    (7) An estimate of the total public burden (in cost) associated 
with the collection: The estimated total annual cost burden associated 
with this collection of information is $0. There are no mailing or 
other costs associated with this collection of information.
