Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
should address one or more of the
following four points:
(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
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
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
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:
Reinstatement, Without Change, of a
Previously Approved Collection for
Which Approval Has Expired.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Request for Cancellation of a Public
Charge Bond.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–356; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit;
Not-for-profit institutions. USCIS uses
Form I–356 to determine if the bond
should be cancelled. A public charge
bond will be cancelled when the alien
dies, departs permanently from the
United States, or is naturalized,
provided the alien did not breach such
bond by receiving either public cash
assistance for income maintenance or
long-term institutionalization at
government expense prior to death,
permanent departure, or naturalization.
In addition, USCIS may cancel a public
charge bond at any time after
determining that the alien is not likely
at any time to become a public charge.
A bond may also be cancelled in order
to allow substitution of another bond. A
public charge bond will be cancelled by
USCIS upon review following the fifth
anniversary of the admission or
adjustment of status of the alien,
provided that the alien has filed Form
I–356 and USCIS finds that the alien did
not receive either public cash assistance
for income maintenance or long-term
institutionalization at government
expense prior to the fifth anniversary.
(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–356 is 10 and the estimated
hour burden per response is 0.75 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
hour burden associated with this
collection is 7.5 hours.

burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
cost burden associated with this
collection of information is $2,500.

received via Regulations.gov on 05/20/
2025 from Ryan Jones. The commenter
did not directly address the information
collection requirements.
Agency Response to Comment 4:
Though the commenter did not address
the information collection requirements
specifically, the comments were passed
on to our Records Officer and the Acting
Assistant Director for Ecological
Services for awareness.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again inviting the
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology (e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response).
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The Service collects and
maintains necessary geospatial data to
meet our mission in accordance with
the following authorities:
• Federal Funding Accountability
and Transparency Act of 2006, as
amended (31 U.S.C. 6101 note);

• Geospatial Data Act of 2018 (43
U.S.C. ch. 46);
• National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–
113);
• Open, Public, Electronic, and
Necessary (OPEN) Government Data Act
(44 U.S.C. 3506(b)(6));
• Title II of the Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018 (Pub. L. 115–435);
• OMB Circular A–16, ‘‘Coordination
of Geographic Information and Related
Spatial Data Activities’’;
• OMB Circular A–119, ‘‘Federal
Participation in the Development and
Use of Voluntary Consensus Standards
and in Conformity Assessment
Activities’’; and
• OMB Circular A–130, ‘‘Managing
Information as a Strategic Resource.’’
Geospatial data identify and depict
geographic locations, boundaries, and
characteristics of features on the surface
of the earth. Geospatial data includes
geographic coordinates (e.g., latitude
and longitude) to identify the location of
earth’s features, and data associated to
geographic locations (e.g., land survey
data and land cover type data). The
Service’s organizational ArcGIS online
program (AGOL), accessed at https://
fws.maps.arcgis.com, is an easy place to
share data with the public and partners,
as well as internally among Service
staff. It can also be used to build and
deploy mobile-enabled online maps,
applications, and services for
geographic information systems (GIS)
users and non-GIS users alike. Sensitive
data is restricted from public access via
an internal-facing intranet version of
AGOL. Moreover, because the system
contains only controlled unclassified
information (CUI) that would be
designated as low impact under the
Federal Information Security Act
(FISMA, 2002), no personally
identifiable information (PII) is allowed
within the system.
The AGOL platform enables the
Service to effectively manage geospatial
data resources and technology to
successfully deliver geospatial services
in support of the Service’s mission. Data
collected through AGOL enables
improved visualization, analysis,
interoperability, modeling, sharing, and
decision support. The benefits include
increased accuracy, increased
productivity, and more efficient
information management and
application support.
In addition to collecting name and
contact information, additional
comments about the submission, and
photographs (optional), we collect the
following types of data from our
partners through AGOL to improve our

type and quantity, road surface type and
condition, issues present at crossing,
and name and contact.
• Stream crossing data, to include
data such as location/description, GPS
coordinates, crossing type, structures/
barriers, inlet/outlet information, and
stream flow type and condition.

description, partner names and contact
information, start and end dates for
project, whether project is new or
updated, cost of project, relevant
website information, geographical
location of project, project species data,
project strategy (e.g., protect habitat,
reduce human conflicts, climate change,
etc.), and links to project reports.
• Reporting locations and/or status of
Service assets (such as trails, roads,
gates, etc.), invasive species, dead
animals, trash on public lands, and
possible hazards.
• Observations of wildlife
