interviews at sites on the NHSC’s
Opportunities List. The travel approval
process is initiated when a scholar
notifies the NHSC of an impending
interview at one or more NHSC
approved practice sites. The Travel
Request Worksheet is also used to
initiate the relocation process after a
NHSC scholar has successfully been
matched to an approved practice site.
Upon receipt of the Travel Request
Worksheet, the NHSC will review and
approve or disapprove the request and
promptly notify the scholar and the
NHSC logistics contractor regarding
travel arrangements and authorization of
the funding for the site visit or
relocation.

Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
should address one or more of the
following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

VerDate Mar<15>2010

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
USCIS continually reviews its
information collection tools for
accuracy, completeness, and utility and,
as a result, the agency is proposing the
addition of a number of questions to
Form N–400. These additional questions
will allow USCIS to make more
informed decisions on the eligibility of
respondents to the form. Form N–400 is
the final information collection activity
that occurs before an eligibility
determination for naturalization is
made. Even if the applicant for
naturalization has received a previous
immigration benefit from USCIS, the
length of time that may have transpired
between the initial interaction that the
respondent had with USCIS on another
immigration benefit request and the
filing of the N–400 requires USCIS to
verify that actions taken by the
respondent during the intervening years
do not affect his or her eligibility for
naturalization. The form is also updated
to examine the inadmissibility grounds
that were added by the Intelligence
Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of
2004. Public Law 108–458 (Dec. 17,
2004). USCIS added these questions as
required by the agreement reached
through a working group comprised of
representatives of affected agencies,
including the Departments of Justice
and State, and U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement of DHS. These
additional questions are necessary for
USCIS to meet the statutory
requirements and the President’s
directive to make a determination that a
person is ineligible to naturalize
because of his or her past involvement
with terrorism, persecution, torture, or
genocide. See, Presidential
Proclamation—Suspension of Entry as
Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of
Persons Who Participate in Serious
Human Rights and Humanitarian Law
Violations and Other Abuses, at http://
www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/
2011/08/04/presidential-proclamationsuspension-entry-immigrants-andnonimmigrants. Because Form N–400
has changed significantly, the burden
estimate in this notice is not based on
the experience and observations of
actual public usage. USCIS would
appreciate and encourages the public’s
