posted, without change, to the Federal

any personal information you provide. 

Therefore, submitting this information 

makes it public. You may wish to 

consider limiting the amount of

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: 

Extension, Without Change, of a 

Currently Approved Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Request for Hearing on a Decision in 

Naturalization Proceedings under 

Section 336. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: N–336; 

USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households. Form N–336 is used by an 

individual whose Form N–400, 

Application for Naturalization was 

denied, to request a hearing before an 

immigration officer on the denial of the 

N–400. USCIS uses the information 

submitted on Form N–336 to locate the 

requestor’s file and schedule a hearing 

in the correct jurisdiction. It allows 

USCIS to determine if there is an 

underlying Form N–400, Application for 

Naturalization that was denied, to 

warrant the filing of Form N–336. The 

information collected also allows USCIS 

to determine if a member of the U.S. 

armed forces has filed the appeal.

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The estimated total number of 

respondents for the information 

collection N–336 (paper filed) is 3,788 

and the estimated hour burden per 

response is 2.75 hours; the estimated
