SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information 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: Fee Remittance for Certain F, J
and M Nonimmigrants.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection: Form I-901;
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. This
information collection is necessary to implement section 641 of IIRIRA,
8 U.S.C. section1372, which directs DHS to collect information relating
to academic nonimmigrant students (F-1), vocational nonimmigrant
students (M-1), and exchange visitors (J-1), as well as their
dependents (F-2, M-2, or J-2), and provides for the collection of the
required fee to defray the costs of this program. Section 641 of IIRIRA
requires DHS to collect current information, on an ongoing basis, from
schools and exchange visitor program sponsors relating to F, J, and M
nonimmigrants during their stay in the United States, using electronic
reporting technology to the fullest extent practicable. SEVP
implemented the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS)
to carry out this statutory requirement. SEVP used the Form I-901, Fee
Remittance for Certain F, J and M Nonimmigrants, to provide a receipt
to the F, J, or M nonimmigrant upon payment and to positively identify
that a particular F, J, or M nonimmigrant has paid the fee.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 902,586
responses at 13 minutes (0.216 hours) per response.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 194,959 annual burden hours.
