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: Extension, Without Change, of a
Currently Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: myE-Verify Program.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
DHS sponsoring the collection: G-1499; USCIS.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals and Households. The myE-
Verify (previously E-Verify Self Check) collection allows workers in
the United States to enter data into the E-Verify system to ensure that
the information relating to their eligibility to work is correct and
accurate. This is necessary so that workers in the United States can
correct their records before a hiring decision is made. This will lead
to a more reliable and accurate E-Verify system that works better for
both employers and employees.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated
total number of respondents for the information collection G-1499 is
250,000 and the estimated hour burden per response is 0.0833 hours. Of
this 250,000, an estimated 75,000 respondents will need to correct
information that may have been entered incorrectly to continue using
myE-Verify; this estimated burden per response is 0.0833 hours. Of this
250,000, an estimated 10,000 respondents may be required to pursue
further action to correct their records at the appropriate agency; this
estimated burden per response is 1.183 hours. Of this 250,000, an
estimated 25,000 respondents will be required to provide additional
information for a second Authentication Check; this estimated burden
per response is 0.25 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total estimated annual hour burden associated
with this collection is 45,153 hours.
(7) An estimate of the total public burden (in cost) associated
with the collection: The estimated total annual cost burden associated
with this collection of information is $0. There are no mailing or
other costs associated with this collection of information.
