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.
