Section 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) and (II) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) provides for the inadmissibility of certain aliens who have accrued unlawful presence in the United States. There is also a waiver provision incorporated into section 212(a)(9)(B)(v) of the Act, which allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to exercise discretion to waive the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility on a case-by-case basis. The information collection required on an Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver of Inadmissibility, Form I-601A, is necessary for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine whether the applicant meets not only the requirements to participate in the streamlined waiver process provided by regulation, but also whether the applicant is eligible to receive the provisional unlawful presence waiver.

There has been a decrease (73,019 annual burden hours) in the annual burden hours previously reported for this information collection. USCIS previously reported 166,469 burden hours and it is now reporting 93,450 burden hours. This change can be attributed to a change in USCIS's estimate for the number of respondents by 27,346 less respondents (previously estimated 62,348 respondents while it is now estimates 35,000 respondents). USCIS refined our respondents estimate to 35,000 through receipt data collected since the March 4, 2013 issuance of the form. The new respondents estimate was multiplied by the average burden per respondents, of 1.5 and 1.17 respectively, to reach the adjustment amounts of 52,500 and 40, 950 and the resultant 73, 019 decrease in respondent hours.
