Employment Authorization Document,
and a Form I–983, ‘‘Training Plan for
STEM OPT Students,’’ to ensure that
they are receiving the academic and
training benefits of the STEM OPT
extension. Consistent with the PRA, the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has previously approved the
collection of information contained on
the current Form I–765 (OMB Control
No. 1615–0040) and Form I–983 (OMB
Control No. 1653–0054). Although there
could be a slight increase in the number
of filings for both the Form I–765 and
Form I–983 because of this notice, the
number of filings currently contained in
the OMB annual inventory is sufficient
to cover any additional filings.
Accordingly, there is no further action
required under the PRA.

Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The information collection notice was
previously published in the Federal

49043, allowing for a 60-day public
comment period. USCIS received nine
comments in connection with the 60day notice.
The information collection instrument
posted with the 60-day Federal Register
Notice included changes associated
with the final rule DHS published on
January 8, 2021 at 86 FR 1676 titled,
Modification of Registration
Requirement for Petitioners Seeking To
File Cap-Subject H–1B Petitions (RIN
1615–AC61). On Wednesday, December
22, 2021 at 86 FR 72516, DHS published
the Modification of Registration
Requirement for Petitioners Seeking To
File Cap-Subject H–1B Petitions,

1615–AC61). The Paperwork Reduction

the vacatur rule removed the changes
that would have been made by the
January 2021 final rule if it had taken
effect. Accordingly, USCIS has also
removed those changes from the
information collection instrument
posted with this 30-day Federal
Register Notice and adjusted the burden
submission accordingly.
