Approved. DHS
will provide within one month of clearance a plan and timeframe for
electronic submission of all CIS forms. This implementation plan
will include a prioritization/timeframe for individuals to submit
all CIS forms electronically. The factors used to determine this
prioritization of forms should include, but is not limited to: the
number of respondents, programmatic needs, and the impact of
electronic submission on total burden hours (i.e. electronic
submission may reduce total burden hours if information submitted
on a separate but related form can be tranferred to the second
form). Failure to comply with these terms of clearance may result
in future disapprovals of this and any other CIS information
collection requests for clearance.
