This collection is approved for six months due to DHS inability to resolve issues related to its review. OMB is providing this grace period so as not to absorb DHS resources required for the response to Hurricane Katrina. DHS must resubmit this collection to OMB for review and approval, including an appendix explicitly responding to the outstanding issues outlined below, before the expiration of the six month period provided here. Prior to resubmission, OMB will work with DHS and CIS leadership to improve their ability to manage PRA processes. Unresolved issues include potentially incorrect number of respon- dents and unjustified large costs increase.
