• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address: The target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. Comments 

are invited on: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number. 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

4,358.

Designation of Liberia for Temporary 

Protected Status 

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Through this Notice, the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) announces that the Secretary of 

Homeland Security (Secretary) has 

designated Liberia for Temporary 

Protected Status (TPS) for a period of 18 

months, effective November 21, 2014 

through May 21, 2016. Under section 

244(b)(1)(C) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 

1254a(b)(1)(C), the Secretary is 

authorized to designate a foreign state 

(or any part thereof) for TPS upon 

finding that the foreign state is 

experiencing extraordinary and 

temporary conditions that prevent its 

nationals from returning in safety and 

that permitting such aliens to remain 

temporarily in the United States is not 

contrary to the national interest. 

This designation allows eligible 

Liberian nationals (and aliens having no 

nationality who last habitually resided 

in Liberia) who have continuously 

resided in the United States since 

November 20, 2014 and been 

continuously physically present in the 

United States since November 21, 2014 

to be granted TPS. This Notice also 

describes the other eligibility criteria 

applicants must meet. 

Individuals who believe they may 

qualify for TPS under this designation 

may apply within the 180-day 

registration period that begins on 

November 21, 2014 and ends on May 

20, 2015. They may also apply for 

Employment Authorization Documents 

(EADs) and for travel authorization. 

Through this Notice, DHS also sets forth 

the procedures for nationals of Liberia 

(or aliens having no nationality who last 

habitually resided in Liberia) to apply 

for TPS, EADs, and travel authorization 

with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services (USCIS). 

Given the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)- 

related basis for the designations of 

Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone for 

TPS and ongoing efforts to prevent the 

spread of EVD, requests for advance 

travel authorization (‘‘advance parole’’) 

for travel to one or more of these three 

countries will not be approved, as a 

matter of discretion, absent 

extraordinary circumstances. If you 

depart from the United States without 

obtaining advance parole or you do not 

comply with any conditions that may be 

placed on your advance parole 

document, you may not be permitted to 

re-enter the United States. TPS 

beneficiaries who are granted advance 

parole to travel to Liberia, Guinea or 

Sierra Leone are advised that they, like 

other aliens granted advance parole, are 

not guaranteed parole into the United 

States. A separate decision regarding 

your ability to enter will be made when 

you arrive at a port-of-entry upon your 

return. Individuals considering travel 

outside the United States should visit 

the Department of State’s Web site for 

the most up-to-date information in 

Travel Alerts and Warnings and in the 

Ebola Fact Sheet for Travelers. 

DATES: This designation of Liberia for 

TPS is effective on November 21, 2014 

and will remain in effect through May 

21, 2016. The 180-day registration 

period for eligible individuals to submit 

TPS applications begins November 21, 

2014, and will remain in effect through 

May 20, 2015.
