Approved
consistent with clarifications in INS memos of 4-16-99 and 4-21-99.
The previously approved collection had been adjusted to 1,587,900
hours as per INS' 1998 ICB submission. INS now believes this
submission was in error and is reinstating the collection for
420,000 hours (the amount prior to the last change). When INS
reprints the form without OMB's address in the burden statement,
the form will be submitted to OMB.
