the issuance of an employment authorization document.
US Code:

1153 Name of Law: Immigration Nationality Act
The respondent, cost, and hour
burden numbers used in the Supporting Statement for the Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking to rescind the International Entrepreneur Rule
are based on the ICR approved on December 8, 2017. It should be
noted that a revision ICR, which was submitted to OMB prior to the
submission of the IER rescission NPRM, was approved on May 31,
2018. Therefore, the respondent, cost, and hour burden numbers in
the IER rescission NPRM do not align with the currently approved
burdens for this collection of information. Additionally, the
program changes identified in the tables below do not match the
changes generated in ROCIS. The data presented here was correct
prior to the approval of the revision ICR. The respondent and
burden estimates will be updated with publication the final
rule.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
