Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 15, 2018 / Notices 40547 

If VIS does not locate a record 

pertaining to the applicant during an 

electronic initial verification, a second 

step additional verification must be 

requested by the agency, so that a Status 

Verifier can manually check the records. 

If the Status Verifier cannot determine 

status during the second step additional 

verification, they will request the 

agency to submit a copy of the 

applicant’s immigration document. The 

immigration document can be submitted 

using scan and upload or by attaching 

it to a Form G–845 and mailing it to the 

Status Verifier. 

Applicants may check on the 

processing of additional verification 

through the SAVE Case Check web 

portal, found at http://www.uscis.gov/ 

save/save-case-check. SAVE Case Check 

permits applicants to use the SAVE 

verification numbers associated with 

their benefit applications or the 

immigration identification numbers and 

dates of birth provided to those benefit 

granting agencies to access this 

information. 

In limited cases, agencies may query 

USCIS by filing Form G–845 by mail. 

Although the Form G–845 does not 

require it, if needed, certain agencies 

may also file the Form G–845 

Supplement with the Form G–845, 

along with copies of immigration 

documents to receive additional 

information necessary to make their 

benefit determinations. These forms 

were developed to facilitate 

communication between all benefitgranting agencies and USCIS to ensure 

that basic information required to assess 

status verification requests is provided. 

(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 G–845 Verification Request is 

162,106 and the estimated hour burden 

per response is 0.083 hours; for the 

information collection VIS Query the 

estimated total number of respondents 

is 23,293,981 and the estimated hour 

burden per response is 0.17 hours; for 

the information collection G–845, 

Verification Request Supplement, the 

estimated total number of respondents 

is 7,122 and the estimated hour burden 

per response is 0.083 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 3,974,023 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 

$141,236,767.

40548 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 15, 2018 / Notices 

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: 

Revision 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: Individuals or 

households. Form N–600 collects 

information from respondents 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 after the 

naturalization of a foreign born parent. 

This form is also used by applicants 

requesting a Certificate of Citizenship 

because they automatically became a 

citizen of the United States after 

meeting eligibility requirements for 

acquisition of citizenship by foreign 

born children. 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 throughout the 

history of the INA and different laws 

apply to determine whether the 

applicant automatically became a U.S. 

citizen. However, step children cannot 

acquire U.S. citizenship under any 

provision of the INA. 

(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 is 67,000 and the 

estimated hour burden per response is 

1.58 hours; the estimated total number 

of respondents for the information 

collection Biometrics is 67,000 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 184,250 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 $8,207,500.
