Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies should address one or more of the following four points:
(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
submission of responses.
Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Interagency Record of Request--A,
G, or NATO Dependent Employment Authorization or Change/Adjustment To/
From A, G, or NATO Status.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
DHS sponsoring the collection: I-566; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. The data
on this form is used by Department of State (DOS) to certify to USCIS
the eligibility of dependents of A or G principals requesting
employment authorization, as well as for NATO/Headquarters, Supreme
Allied Commander Transformation (NATO/HQ SACT) to certify to USCIS
similar eligibility for dependents of NATO principals. DOS also uses
this form to certify to USCIS that certain A, G, or NATO nonimmigrants
may change their status to another nonimmigrant status. USCIS uses data
collected on this form in the adjudication of change or adjustment of
status applications from aliens in A, G, or NATO classifications. USCIS
also uses Form I-566 to notify DOS of the results of these
adjudications.
The information provided on this form continues to ensure effective
interagency communication among the three governmental departments--the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), DOS, and the Department of
Defense (DOD)--as well as with NATO/HQ SACT. These departments and
organizations utilize this form to facilitate the uniform collection
and review of information necessary to determine an alien's eligibility
for the requested immigration benefit. This form also ensures that the
information regarding findings or actions is communicated among DHS,
DOS, DOD, and NATO/HQ SACT.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated
total number of respondents for the information collection I-566 is
