The target population for the MAI
grantees will be at-risk minority
adolescents and young adults. All MAI
grantees are expected to report their
monitoring data using SAMHSA’s
Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF)
to target minority populations, as well
as other high-risk groups residing in
communities of color with high
prevalence of Substance Abuse and
HIV/AIDS. The primary objectives of the
monitoring tools include:

• Assess the success of the MAI in
reducing risk factors and increasing
protective factors associated with the
transmission of the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and other
sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
• Measure the effectiveness of
evidence-based programs and
infrastructure development activities
such as: outreach and training,
mobilization of key stakeholders,
substance abuse and HIV/AIDS
counseling and education, testing,
referrals to appropriate medical
treatment and/or other intervention

strategies (i.e., cultural enrichment
activities, educational and vocational
resources, social marketing campaigns,
and computer-based curricula).
• Investigate intervention types and
features that yield the best outcomes for
specific population groups.
• Assess the extent to which access to
health care was enhanced for
population groups and individuals
vulnerable to behavioral health
disparities residing in communities
targeted by funded interventions.
• Assess the process of adopting and
implementing the SPF with the target
populations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Since 1997, U.S. immigration law has
required certain intending immigrants
to submit an Affidavit of Support Under
Section 213A of the INA (Form I–864 or
Form I–864EZ) executed by a sponsor
pledging financial support for the
intending immigrant to show that they
have adequate means of financial
support and are not likely to become a
public charge. See INA sections
212(a)(4)(C) and (D). The Affidavit of
Support Under Section 213A of the INA
is a contract between a sponsor and the

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

U.S. government that imposes a legally
enforceable obligation on the sponsor to
support the sponsored immigrant until
the obligation period ends.
Certain noncitizens are required by
regulation to affirmatively request an
exemption from filing an Affidavit of
Support Under Section 213A of the INA.
See 8 CFR 213a.2(a)(1)(i)(B). The
Request for Exemption for Intending
Immigrant’s Affidavit of Support (Form
I–864W) is the current mechanism used
to affirmatively request the exemption.
However, USCIS is discontinuing the
use of the Request for Exemption for
Intending Immigrant’s Affidavit of
Support in its adjudications. Instead, a
noncitizen who needs to affirmatively
request the exemption from USCIS can
request it on the form for their
immigration benefit request by checking
the appropriate box. For example, an
adjustment of status applicant who
needs to affirmatively request the
exemption will do so on their
Application to Register Permanent
Residence or Adjust Status (Form I–485)
and would not need to complete and
submit a Request for Exemption for
Intending Immigrant’s Affidavit of
Support.
Comments
The information collection notice was
previously published in the Federal
Register on October 26, 2023, at 88 FR
73612, allowing for a 60-day public
comment period. USCIS did receive
three comments in connection with the
60-day notice resulting in clarification
updates to the instructions.
You may access the information
collection instrument with instructions,
or additional information by visiting the
Federal eRulemaking Portal site at:
http://www.regulations.gov and enter
USCIS–2007–0029 in the search box.
Comments must be submitted in
English, or an English translation must
be provided. The comments submitted
to USCIS via this method are visible to
the Office of Management and Budget
and comply with the requirements of 5
CFR 1320.12(c). All submissions will be
posted, without change, to the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at http://
www.regulations.gov, and will include
any personal information you provide.
Therefore, submitting this information
makes it public. You may wish to
consider limiting the amount of
personal information that you provide
in any voluntary submission you make
to DHS. DHS may withhold information
provided in comments from public
viewing that it determines may impact
the privacy of an individual or is
offensive. For additional information,
please read the Privacy Act notice that

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
Request: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Affidavit of Support Under Section
213A of the INA; Contract Between
Sponsor and Household Member;
Affidavit of Support under Section
213A of the INA.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the DHS
sponsoring the collection: I–864; I–
864A, I–864EZ; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: Individuals or
households. USCIS uses the data
collected on Form I–864 to determine
whether the sponsor has the ability to
support the sponsored immigrant under
section 213A of the Immigration and
Nationality Act. This form standardizes
evaluation of a sponsor’s ability to
support the sponsored immigrant and
ensures that basic information required
to assess eligibility is provided by
sponsors.
Form I–864A is a contract between
the sponsor and the sponsor’s
household members. It is only required
if the sponsor used income of their
household members to reach the
required 125 percent of the Federal
poverty guidelines. The contract holds
these household members jointly and
severally liable for the support of the
sponsored immigrant. The information

Fmt 4703

collection required on Form I–864A is
necessary for public benefit agencies to
enforce the Affidavit of Support in the
event the sponsor used income of their
household members to reach the
required income level and the public
benefit agencies are requesting
reimbursement from the sponsor.
USCIS uses Form I–864EZ in exactly
the same way as Form I–864; however,
USCIS collects less information from the
sponsors as less information is needed
from those who qualify in order to make
a thorough adjudication.
(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–864 is 453,345 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
5.81 hours; the estimated total number
of respondents for the information
collection I–864A is 215,800 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
1.5 hours; the estimated total number of
respondents for the information
collection I–864EZ is 100,000 and the
estimated hour burden per response is
2.25 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated annual
hour burden associated with this
collection is 3,128,684 hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public
burden (in cost) associated with the
collection: The estimated total annual
cost burden associated with this
collection of information is
$135,569,525.
