Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: USCIS is now accounting for a separate time burden estimate for paper filed Form N-565s versus e-filed Form N-565s. This change is reflected in Question 12 above, as well as in the table at Question 15. The estimated average time burden per response for e-filing is .917 hours, as compared to 1.33 hours for a paper filing, which results in a lower annual hour burden for e-filing than for paper filing. The estimated total annual hour burden for this information collection decreased from 69,225 to 65,451 as a result of a decrease in the estimated annual hour burden for e-filers. There is no change to the estimated cost burden to respondents for this collection of information.
