use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Request for Fee Waiver.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–912; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. USCIS uses the data
collected on this form to verify that the
applicant is unable to pay for the
immigration benefit being requested.
USCIS will consider waiving a fee for an
application or petition when the
applicant or petitioner clearly
demonstrates that he or she is unable to
pay the fee. Form I–912 standardizes the
collection and analysis of statements
and supporting documentation provided
by the applicant with the fee waiver
request. Form I–912 also streamlines
and expedites USCIS’s review, approval,
or denial of the fee waiver request by
clearly laying out the most salient data
and evidence necessary for the
determination of inability to pay.
Officers evaluate all factors,
circumstances, and evidence supplied
in support of a fee waiver request when
making a final determination. Each case
is unique and is considered on its own
merits. If the fee waiver is granted, the
application will be processed. If the fee
waiver is not granted, USCIS will notify
the applicant and instruct him or her to
file a new application with the
appropriate fee.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection I–912 is 350,000 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
1.17 hours; for the information
collection DACA Exemptions the
estimated total number of respondents
is 108 and the estimated hour burden
per response is 1.17 hours; for the
information collection 8 CFR 103.7(d)
Director’s exception request the
estimated total number of respondents
is 20 and the estimated hour burden per
response is 1.17 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated annual

Proposed Changes to the Methodology
Used for Estimating Fair Market Rents
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Policy Development and
Research, HUD.
ACTION: Notice of proposed changes for
estimation of Fair Market Rents (FMRs).
AGENCY:

Jkt 247001

Section 8(c)(1) of the United
States Housing Act of 1937 requires the
Secretary to publish FMRs periodically,
but not less than annually, adjusted to
be effective on October 1 of each year.
The primary uses of FMRs are to
determine payment standards for the
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
program, to determine initial renewal
rents for some expiring project-based
Section 8 contracts, to determine initial
rents for housing assistance payment
contracts in the Moderate Rehabilitation
Single Room Occupancy Program, and
to serve as rent ceilings for rental units
in both the HOME Investment
Partnerships Program and the
Emergency Solutions Grants Program.
HUD also uses FMRs in the calculation
of maximum award amounts for
Continuum of Care grantees and in the
calculation of flat rents for Public
Housing units. In furtherance of that
effort, HUD proposes two changes in
how FMRs are estimated in this notice
and seeks public comment on the
proposed changes.
DATES: Comment Due Date: July 5, 2019.
ADDRESSES: HUD invites interested
persons to submit comments regarding
the proposed changes to the calculation
of the FMRs to the Regulations Division,
Office of General Counsel, Department
of Housing and Urban Development,
451 7th Street SW, Room 10276,
Washington, DC 20410–0001.
