SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information should
address one or more of the following four points:

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
[[Page 53378]]
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: Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Student and Exchange Visitor
Information System (SEVIS).
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection: I-17 and I-
20; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Nonprofit institutions and
individuals or households. SEVIS is an internet-based data entry,
collection, and reporting system. It collects information on SEVP-
certified schools via the Form I-17, ``Petition for Approval of School
for Attendance by Nonimmigrant Student,'' and collects information on
the F and M nonimmigrant students that the SEVP-certified schools admit
into their programs of study via the Form I-20, ``Certificate of
Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status--For Academic and
Language Students'' and ``Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant
(M-1) Student Status--For Vocational Students.''
The Form I-17 will be revised to collect previous school codes
associated with the school and/or owner, school website links,
emergency contact information for the school, and additional
information on school ownership, as well as to remove the fax number
field, which is now obsolete. SEVP will be redesigning the ``Program of
Study'' page on the Form I-17 to better capture the educational level,
degree, program of study, time necessary to complete the program,
assigned Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code, and mode
of instruction. In addition, SEVP will require schools to indicate
whether a program of study is conducted predominantly online or in a
hybrid or low residency format and whether Curricular Practical
Training is a component of a program of study. Other updates to the
Form I-17 will allow designated school officials (DSOs) to select
``weeks'' as an academic term length, require DSOs to provide separate
numbers for domestic and international students when listing the
``Average Annual Number of Students,'' allow DSOs to list annual costs
by program of study or degree level, allow DSOs to provide additional
contact information, require DSOs to indicate whether they work full-
time or part-time, and change a DSO's ``Title'' to ``Job Title,'' to
better collect information on their position at the school.
The Form I-20 will be revised to collect contact and other
information on legal guardians of minor F and M students, the date of
students' graduation/degree awarded, and clarifying details on the
source and type of the financial support for F and M students, as well
as information to indicate whether a student is engaging in online
education or on-campus employment. Information will also be collected
on whether a student's employment or training is being conducted at an
on-site location or remotely.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 20,890
responses.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total estimated annual burden associated with
this collection of information in hours is 815,505 hours. There is an
additional one-time burden in the first year of this collection of
6,778 hours.
