How long will this notice remain in
effect?

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY

This notice grants temporary relief
until September 30, 2022, to eligible F–
1 nonimmigrant students. DHS will
continue to monitor the situation in
Syria. Should the special provisions
authorized by this notice need
modification or extension, DHS will
announce such changes in the Federal
Register.

Transportation Security Administration

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

SUMMARY:

An F–1 nonimmigrant student seeking
off-campus employment authorization
due to severe economic hardship must
demonstrate to the DSO that this
employment is necessary to avoid
severe economic hardship. A DSO who
agrees that a nonimmigrant student
should receive such employment
authorization must recommend an
application approval to USCIS by
entering information in the remarks
field of the student’s SEVIS record. The
authority to collect this information is
in the SEVIS collection of information
currently approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
OMB Control Number 1653–0038.
This notice also allows eligible F–1
nonimmigrant students to request
employment authorization, work an
increased number of hours while the
academic institution is in session, and
reduce the student’s course load while
continuing to maintain F–1
nonimmigrant student status.
To apply for employment
authorization, certain F–1
nonimmigrant students must complete
and submit a currently approved Form
I–765 according to the instructions on
the form. OMB has previously approved
the collection of information contained
on the current Form I–765, consistent
with the PRA (OMB Control No. 1615–
0040). Although there will be a slight
increase in the number of Form I–765
filings because of this notice, the
number of filings currently contained in
the OMB annual inventory for Form I–
765 is sufficient to cover the additional
filings. Accordingly, there is no further
action required under the PRA.

Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland
Security.

Intent To Request Approval From OMB
of One New Public Collection of
Information: Speaker Request Form
Transportation Security
Administration, DHS.
ACTION: 60-Day notice.
AGENCY:

The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) invites public
comment on a new Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below that we will submit to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
approval in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
burden. The collection involves the
basic point of contact information on
the person/organization requesting a
TSA speaker, the logistical information
for that speaking engagement, and
context for the request to determine the
audience reach, ethical concerns, and
possible promotion of the speaking
engagement.

DATES:

Send your comments by June 21,

2021.
Comments may be emailed
to [email protected] or delivered to
the TSA PRA Officer, Information

Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation will be
available at http://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information
collection, TSA is soliciting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement 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
agency’s estimate of the burden;

(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.
Information Collection Requirement
Purpose and Description of Data
Collection
To respond to public speaking
invitations, TSA has created the Speaker
Request Form, which collects
information on the requestor and the
event a speaker would attend. TSA is
requesting OMB approval of the Speaker
Request Form. The form requests the
name of the organization and if it is a
profit or nonprofit organization; the
point of contact information for the
person coordinating the event; the date,
time, and location of the event; the type
of event (e.g., keynote, dinner, panel,
interview, etc.); the purpose of the
event; the topics of discussion; the
audience makeup; other notable guests;
and if media will be attending.
This basic contact information is
needed to respond to the requestor,
determine where to find a TSA speaker
geographically, and what resources
would be needed to send a speaker to
the event. TSA also collects information
to determine if it is in the best interests
of the agency to send a speaker to the
speaking engagement, if it aligns with
the agency’s communication goals, and
if it is, who should speak on behalf of
the agency on the requested topics. The
information is collected only once for
any engagement and is completely
voluntary on the part of the requestor.
TSA is submitting the form as a
Common Form to permit Federal agency
users beyond the agency that created the
form (e.g., Department of Homeland
Security or U.S. Office of Personnel
Management) to streamline the
information collection process in
coordination with OMB.
TSA expects to receive approximately
300 speaker requests per year. The
agency estimates that each respondent
will spend approximately 10 minutes to
complete the Speaker Request Form, for
a total annual burden of 3,000 minutes
(50 hours).
Use of Results
TSA Speaker’s Bureau will use the
information on the form to determine
which TSA speaker may attend the
speaking engagement, if any. The
organization and point of contact

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 76 / Thursday, April 22, 2021 / Notices

information is only shared with the
proposed TSA speaker to allow the
speaker to coordinate the day of
logistics. The event information may be
shared among TSA offices, particularly
within the Strategic Communications
and Public Affairs office to identify
greater opportunities to align the
engagement or the organization with its
communication goals and possibly
promote the TSA speaker on other
external platforms.
The form is emailed to the TSA
Speaker’s Bureau which is limited to
only the employees tasked with
coordinating TSA speaking
engagements. Any archiving of the
forms information would be on a secure
and closed system, accessible by only
employees with system permissions and
could be used to identify trends over
time.
Dated: April 19, 2021.

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and

Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Application for Replacement
Naturalization/Citizenship Document.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: N–565;
USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) uses
Form N–565 to determine the
applicant’s eligibility for a replacement
document. An applicant may file for a
replacement if they were issued one of
the documents described above and it
was lost, mutilated, or destroyed; if the
document is incorrect due to a
typographical or clerical error by USCIS;
if the applicant’s name was changed by
a marriage, divorce, annulment, or court
order after the document was issued and
the applicant now seeks a document in
the new name; or if the applicant is
seeking a change of the gender listed on
their document after obtaining a court
order, a government-issued document,
or a letter from a licensed health care
professional recognizing that the
applicant’s gender is different from that
listed on their current document. The
only document that can be replaced on
the basis of a change to the applicant’s
date of birth, as evidenced by a court
order or a document issued by the U.S.
government or the government of a U.S.
state, is the Certificate of Citizenship. If
the applicant is a naturalized citizen
who desires to obtain recognition as a
citizen of the United States by a foreign
country, he or she may apply for a
special certificate for that purpose.
USCIS may request that applicants
who reside within the United States
attend an appointment at a USCIS
