SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 2, 2021 President Biden signed
Executive Order 14012 Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems
and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Efforts for New Americans.
The role of the White House Domestic Policy Council (DPC) is to convene
executive departments and agencies (agencies) to coordinate the
formulation and implementation of the Administration's domestic policy
objectives. Consistent with that role, the DPC shall coordinate the
Federal Government's efforts to welcome and support immigrants,
including refugees, and to catalyze State and local integration and
inclusion efforts. In furtherance of these goals, the DPC shall convene
a Task Force on New
[[Page 49603]]
Americans, which shall include members of agencies that implement
policies that impact immigrant communities.
In response to E.O. 14012, on July 2, 2021, the Secretaries of
Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs announced a new joint
initiative, the Immigrant Military Members and Veterans Initiative
(IMMVI), to support our Nation's noncitizen service members, veterans,
and their immediate family members and directed their departments to
identify and prioritize the return of military service members,
veterans, and their immediate family members who were unjustly removed
from the United States and ensure that they receive the benefits to
which they may be entitled.
The information to be collected for self-disclosure would include:
A-Number, USCIS Receipt Numbers (if any), Name, Date of Birth, Country
of Residence, Email, Phone Number, Branch and Dates of Military
Service, Address, reason for requesting assistance, and Name and
Contact Information of Representative, if applicable.
To carry out the goals of IMMVI, DHS is proposing this new data
collection to offer noncitizen current and former military members and
their families an opportunity to seek assistance from DHS. The purpose
of this information collection is to achieve efficiencies in making
contact with individuals, better understand their needs, and track and
report the number and types of inquiries received. This information
will assist DHS in improving access to immigration services and VA
health benefits. DHS plans to collect relevant information to provide
assistance at the point the individual submits this information on the
new website for benefits and immigration assistance. The information
collected through this public facing webform will be voluntarily
provided by the users. A new webform hosted on <a href="http://dhs.gov">dhs.gov</a> will be
established to allow for individuals to submit the necessary
information to make contact with the government to seek assistance.
Additionally, the government provides an email address for those who
are not able to access the webform. The government will then reach out
to the individual to provide them with the necessary information needed
to request immigration or VA benefits. The progress of the inquiries
will be tracked in a DHS case management system.
The non-citizen current or former servicemember or their family
member will submit their information through a webform on <a href="http://dhs.gov">dhs.gov</a>. The
information will be transmitted to government systems and shared with
the cooperating DHS components and agencies assisting the former
military members and their families. All information related to the
individual's request and action taken by the government will be noted
in the case management system for tracking and appropriate follow
through and action. If the collection of information impacts small
businesses or other small entities (Item 5 of OMB Form 83-I), describe
any methods used to minimize burden.
All information received through the DHS website will be reviewed
by trained DHS federal staff assigned to IMMVI and stored in a DHS case
management system. No information will be shared with other agencies
without the appropriate privacy releases from the individuals accessing
the portal. All information received through the portal and any actions
taken in response to the information collected will be stored in a DHS
case management system.
This is a new information collection request.
The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in
comments which:
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
submissions of responses.
