To provide greater transparency, ICE is

the Federal Register to obtain comments
from the public and affected agencies.

DATES:

The Form
I–983, ‘‘Training Plan’’ is an information
collection directed in the rulemaking,
‘‘Improving and Expanding Training
Opportunities for F–1 Nonimmigrant
Students with STEM Degrees and CapGap Relief for All Eligible F–1
Students,’’ cited above. The final rule
was published on March 11, 2016, and
went into effect on May 10, 2016.
The Form I–983 serves as a planning
document for those F–1 nonimmigrant
students who are eligible for an
extension of their optional practical
training (OPT) benefit and who elect to
do so. To be eligible for the extension,
students must have completed a degree
in a Science, Technology, Engineering
or Mathematics (STEM) field approved
by the Department of Homeland
Security and must already be engaged in
post-completion OPT. The information
collection requires input from the
student, the SEVP certified school that
recommends the student, and the
employer.
During the 60-day public commenting
period, two comments were received.
Both commenters requested clarification
on the nature of the changes to the
information collection. In response to
these comments, ICE is providing an
explanation of the changes in the 30-day
notice. The changes to the collection
were to increase the burden estimates
based on the anticipated increase in the
number of students enrolled in STEM.
There were no other changes to the
collection or form.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
(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
agencies’ estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

(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 using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Overview of Updated Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
information collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Training Plan for STEM OPT Students.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security
sponsoring the collection: Form I–983,
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. The Form I–983 serves as a
planning document for STEM OPT
students, the SEVP-certified school, and
the employer. The Training Plan for
STEM OPT students serves as an
evidentiary document for SEVP by
setting forth the terms and conditions of
the practical training, documenting the
obligations of the three parties that are
involved—the F student, the SEVPcertified school, and the employer—and
by tracking the student’s progress. The
student and the employer must each
complete and sign their part of the Form
I–983. The SEVP-certified school will
incorporate the completed and signed
Form I–983, as part of the student’s
school file. The SEVP-certified school
will make the student’s Form I–983
available to DHS upon request.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
responses and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent
(student, DSO, or employer) to respond:

(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 1,843,779 annual burden
hours.
Note: SEVP saw an annual increase of
124,314 responses in each respondent group:
Students, DSOs, and employers during this

reporting cycle. This reflects an
unanticipated industry growth. SEVP subject
matter experts predict a one percent increase
of STEM OPT participants during the next
three years.

SEVP subject matter experts
anticipate a reduction in DSO burden

during the next three years as technical
improvements, such as the new Portal,
are more fully deployed. Table 3 shows
the differences between the current
estimates and the previous supporting
statement.
