This form is used by USCIS to
determine an applicant's eligibility for a replacement document
that was lost, mutilated or destroyed, or if the applicant's name
was changed by marriage or by court order after the original
document was issued. Additionally, this form is used by a
naturalized citizen applicant who desires to obtain a special
certificate of recognition as a citizen of the United States by a
foreign country.
The estimated total annual hour
burden for this information collection increased as a result of an
increase in the estimated average time burden per response from
.916 hours to 1.33 hours. USCIS revised this information collection
to include additional data elements and additional instructions,
which resulted in an increase in the estimated time to review
instructions, complete the form, and gather necessary evidence.
USCIS also made a programmatic change to require submission of
biometrics by respondents to this information collection, which
added an additional time burden per response. The estimated total
annual cost burden to respondents decreased as a result of a
decrease in the estimated number of respondents for this
information collection. USCIS previously reported an estimate of
27,954 respondents and is now reporting an estimate of 27,690
respondents. There is no additional cost burden as a result of the
biometrics requirement.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
