Only I-485 has
been approved in this package. Supplement A of this package is not
approved at this time. We have raised concerns about the utility of
Supplement A as it does not coherently solicit information
necessary to determine whether an individual should file under
section 245 and 249 of the INA. Attached memos delineate the
concerns and issues raised regarding Supplement A. INS will make
revisions to Supplement A to address issues and concerns raised in
the attached memos. INS will resubmit a full package that includes
both the I-485 and a revised Supplement A within 30 days of this
action. INS may continue to use the previous Supplement A until the
revised Supplement A has been approved. This collection previously
expired on June 2001. INS shall ensure that such future violations
of the Paperwork Reduction Act do not occur. Because the collection
did expire, burden hours and cost burden of current OMB inventory
reverted to zero. These amounts were not reflected on the 83-I.
Changes have been made accord- ingly.
