The Department of Homeland

review and clearance in accordance 

with section 1320.13(a)(1)(ii) and

Act of 1995. The DHS has determined 

that it cannot reasonably comply with

information. Accordingly, DHS is 

requesting emergency review from OMB 

for this information collection. OMB 

approval has been requested by October 

31, 2005. If granted, the emergency 

approval is only valid for 180 days.

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and

(4) Minimize the burden of the
