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: 

Application for Certificate of 

Citizenship. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: N–600; 

USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Form N–600 collects 

information from applicants who are 

requesting a Certificate of Citizenship 

because they acquired United States 

citizenship either by birth abroad to a 

U.S. citizen parent(s), adoption by a 

U.S. citizen parent(s), or after meeting 

eligibility requirements including the 

naturalization of a foreign-born parent. 

Form N–600 can also be filed by a 

parent or legal guardian on behalf of a 

minor child. The form standardizes 

requests for the benefit and ensures that 

basic information required to assess 

eligibility is provided by applicants. 

USCIS uses the information collected on 

Form N–600 to determine if a Certificate 

of Citizenship can be issued to the 

applicant. Citizenship acquisition laws 

have changed over time and different 

laws apply to determine whether the 

applicant automatically became a U.S. 

citizen depending on the dates of 

relevant events, such as the child’s date 

of birth. USCIS may request that 

applicants who reside within the United 

States attend an appointment at a USCIS 

Application Support Center to have a 

photograph taken. USCIS may also 

require applicants to submit additional 

biometrics under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(9). 

(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 N–600 (paper-filed) is 26,810 

and the estimated hour burden per 

response is 1.5 hours; the estimated 

total number of respondents for the 

information collection N–600 (online 

filing) is 28,190 and the estimated hour 

burden per response is 0.75 hours; the 

estimated total number of respondents 

for the information collection biometrics 

submission is 36,500 and the estimated 

hour burden per response is 1.17 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 104,063 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 

$7,081,250.00.

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: Under the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended, the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development 

(HUD), Office of Public and Indian 

Housing (PIH) is modifying system of 

records notice, the Inventory 

Management System (IMS), also known 

as the Public and Indian Housing 

Information Center (IMS/PIC), to amend 

and replace the current system of 

records with one that encompasses both 

the IMS/PIC and the Housing 

Information Portal (HIP) system, add 

three new routine uses and a new 

collection authority. The updates are 

explained in the ‘‘Supplementary 

Section’’ of this notice. The system 

name is changing from IMS/PIC to IMS/ 

PIC–HIP because HUD is adding 

functionality from HIP to the IMS/PIC 

system. The existing scope, objectives, 

business processes, and uses being 

made of the data by the HUD remains 

unchanged. 

DATES: Comments will be accepted on or 

before October 26, 2023. The SORN 

becomes effective immediately, while 

the routine uses become effective after 

the comment period immediately upon 

publication except for the routine uses, 

which will become effective on the date 

following the end of the comment 

period unless comments are received 

which result in a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Housing Information Portal (HIP) system 

will replace, enhance, and augment the 

functionality currently performed by 

Inventory Management System and 

Public and Indian Housing Information 

Center (IMS/PIC), while reducing the 

administrative burden on Public 

Housing Authorities (PHAs) for 

providing information to HUD through 

a new form/data submission 

mechanism. HIP is a modernized, 

flexible, scalable, internet-based 

integrated system, which enables PHA, 

Tribe/Tribally Designated Housing 

Entities (TDHE) and HUD users to 

access a common database of affordable 

housing information via the internet. 

IMS/PIC and HIP will operate in parallel 

until such time as HIP is able to fully 

replace IMS/PIC. The enhanced 

technology used by the HIP system will 

also enable critical new policy 

initiatives, including the expansion of 

the Moving to Work (MTW) Expansion 

program mandated by the 2016 

Consolidated Appropriations Act and 

several programmatic changes resulting 

from the Housing Opportunities 

Through Modernization Act of 2016 

(HOTMA). HUD is publishing this 

notice to amend and replace the current 

system of records titled as IMS/PIC with 

one that encompasses both the IMS/PIC 

and HIP systems, add three new routine 

uses to the Routine Use Section and add 

to the collection authority section 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 25, 2019, at 84 FR 11117. The 

three new additions to the Routine Uses 

section allow for sharing of data with 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC)/Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC) to 

establish eligibility for benefits 

administered by USAC for families 

which also participate in a HUD rental 

assistance program, and to any Federal, 

State, or local agency to verify the 

accuracy and completeness of the 

eligibility data for HUD rental assistance 

program, and HUD to enter into 

cooperative agreements and other types 

of agreements for the purposes of 

statistical analysis and research in 

support of program operations. The 

addition to the collection authority 

covers the data collected by Tribes/ 

TDHE and their-hired management 

agents and entered HIP via the Tribal 

HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive 

Housing (VASH) reporting tool. The 

changes also include an update to the 

name of the system manager.

related to the administration of HUD 

subsidized housing programs. IMS/PIC 

and HIP are flexible, scalable, internetbased integrated systems, which enables 

PHA and TDHE users, and HUD 

personnel to access a common database 

via their web browser. IMS/PIC and HIP 

aids HUD and entities that administer 

HUD’s assisted housing programs in: (a) 

Increasing the effective distribution of 

rental assistance to individuals that 

meet the requirements of Federal rental 

assistance programs; (b) detecting 

abuses in assisted housing programs; (c) 

taking administrative or legal actions to 

resolve past and current abuses of 

assisted housing programs; (d) 

monitoring compliance with HUD 

program requirements; (e) deterring 

abuses by verifying the employment and 

income of tenants at the time of annual 

and interim reexaminations of family 

income and composition via the PIH 

Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) 

system; (f) evaluating program 

effectiveness; (g) improving PHA and
