SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Need for Extension of the Comment Period
On January 4, 2023, DHS published a proposed rule in the Federal
Register at 88 FR 402 proposing amendments to certain immigration and
naturalization benefit request fees charged by USCIS. On February 14,
2023, an error occurred on the General Service Administration's (GSA)
eRulemaking Portal: <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. This error caused a
technical issue so that the public could not review or submit comments
on the proposed rule. GSA corrected the technical issue as soon as they
identified it. In the process, the public was unable to review or
submit comments for almost 24 hours. Due to this technical issue,
accompanied by technical issues that had delayed the upload of several
supporting documents by two days at the start of the comment period,
DHS is extending the comment period by 5 business days until March 13,
2023. Please submit written comments and related material on or before
March 13, 2023. Please refer to the instructions and guidance in the
proposed rule (88 FR 402, January 4, 2023) for more information on how
to submit public comment. DHS will consider comments received during
the entire public comment period.
