The change in this request is
due to the availability of Form I-539 now available for e-filing,
which the time burden per response is lower for that option than
for the paper file option. USCIS has captured the burden in this
submission for the biometric collection activity that was not
reflected in the previously approved request. The previously
approved (134,292 responses, 157,122 hours) are not reflected
properly as they were in The Federal Register Notices and the
Supporting Statement (373,477 responses, 436,968 hours).
