An alien temporarily residing in the
United States can use this form to request a replacement of his or
her lost, stolen, mutilated arrival-departure document, or he or
she may also request a new arrival-departure record, if one was not
issued when he or she was last admitted as a nonimmigrant, and has
not since been issued such record but is in need of one USCIS uses
the information provided by the requester to verify eligibility, as
well as his or her status, process the request and issue a new or
replacement arrival-departure record.
There has been an increase in
the estimated annual burden hours previously reported. The increase
is due to the agency's newest estimate regarding the time burden
associated with this collection. USCIS previously reported 2,821.31
burden hours but it is now seeking approval of 3,156.22 burden
hours. USCIS has made some revisions to the form and instructions.
Additional data collection fields are being incorporated into the
form to enable verification of status in the United States based
upon passport or travel document information captured by CBP at the
port of entry, which also may be used to search TECS and ADIS. This
additional information is deemed necessary to ensure timely
verification in cases where the individual does not have his or her
Form I-94 admission information, particularly as a result of CBP's
automation of the Form I-94 process. In addition, the Applicant's
and Preparer's sections have been revised, and an Interpreter's
section has been added to the form and instructions. USCIS now
estimates that it takes an applicant 30 minutes to prepare and
submit this request using a paper form. Finally, the ELIS Account
Number data collection has been added to the form. The changes
being proposed will be made to the most recent edition of the form
approved by OMB, dated 2/17/13 N, which was approved by OMB upon
USCIS request to approve changes to this collection based on DHS's
Interim Final Rule, Definition of Form I-94 to Include Electronic
Format, at 78 FR 18457, March 27, 2013. USCIS initially estimates
that filing this request electronically will take 25 minutes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
