Alien’s Change of Address Card
Form AR-11 and AR-11SR
OMB No. 1615-0007
A. Justification:
1. Section 265(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) requires all aliens within the United States to notify U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), in writing, of each change of address, within 10 days from the date of change.
2. The Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card, provides a standardized format for compliance with section 265(b) of the INA. The Form AR-11SR, Alien’s Change of Address Card, is used to report changes of address of aliens subject to “special registration” requirements contained in 8 CFR 264.1(f). These forms will also be used to maintain a current address on aliens.
3. The use of these forms provides the most efficient means for collecting and processing the required data. These forms reside on the USCIS Web site and can be completed electronically and can be e-filed. The url for e-filing is https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa.Terms.
4. A review of the USCIS Forms Inventory Report revealed no duplication of efforts. There is no similar information currently available that can be used for this purpose.
5. This collection of information does not have an impact on small businesses or other small entities.
6. If the information is not collected, aliens will not be able to comply with the requirement of section 265(b) of the INA to submit their change of address to USCIS within 10 days from the date of change.
7. There are no special circumstances applicable to this information collection
8. On May 10, 2011 USCIS published a 60-day notice in connection with this information collection in the Federal Register at 76 FR 27077.

c. Total Annual Responses 720,000
d. Hours per Response .083
e. Total Annual Reporting Burden 59,760

Fee Charge 0
Total Cost to Government $ 2,390,400
Government Cost
The estimated cost to the Government is $2,390,400. This figure was derived by multiplying the estimated number of respondents 720,000 x .083 hours (5 minutes) (time required to collect and process information) x $40 (suggested average hourly rate for clerical, officer, and supervisory time with benefits). In addition, this figure includes the estimated overhead cost for printing, stocking, and distributing the form, which is $21,600.
The estimated cost to the Public is $1,786,226. This figure is calculated by multiplying the estimated number of respondents 720,000 x .083 hours (5 minutes)(time required to collect and process information) x $29.89 (suggested average hourly).
