Section 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) and (II) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) provides for the
inadmissibility of certain aliens who have accrued unlawful
presence in the United States. There is also a waiver provision
incorporated into section 212(a)(9)(B)(v) of the Act, which allows
the Secretary of Homeland Security to exercise discretion to waive
the unlawful presence grounds of inadmissibility on a case-by-case
basis. The information collection required on an Application for
Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver of Inadmissibility, Form
I-601A, is necessary for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS) to determine whether the applicant meets not only the
requirements to participate in the streamlined waiver process
provided by regulation, but also whether the applicant is eligible
to receive the provisional unlawful presence waiver.
There is an increase in the
estimated annual hour burden to respondents for this collection of

3.67 hours. There is no change in the estimated annual cost burden
to respondents for this collection of information.
