To comply with the EO 14168,
“Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring
Biological Truth to the Federal Government” ICE/SEVIS is submitting
the Form 83-C Change Request to remove “Other” as an option per the
EO 14168 PRA Guidance.
The data collection has
changed, but not significantly, since the previous supporting
statement. Respondents in SEVIS are the DSOs. The DSOs input data
into SEVIS in order to fulfill two responsibilities: the management
of their school’s F and M nonimmigrant data, and the management of
their school’s SEVP certification. Requirements and processes for
management of this data have not changed. Actual variances in
aggregate costs/burden between this supporting statement and the
preceding one reflect changes in overall student enrollment, the
number of schools having or seeking SEVP certification, the number
of DSOs, and the average DSO salary. Also, school fees related to
SEVP certification and recertification have been added as a
relevant cost. The revision is to add a new data field for city of
birth. This field allows SEVP to distinguish between applicants
with the same name and country of birth. The field is not expected
to increase the burden per response.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
