procedures under this Part because normal clearance procedures are
reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information.
Therefore, OMB approval has been requested by February 20, 1997. If
granted, the emergency approval is only valid for 180 days. ALL
comments and/or questions pertaining to this pending request for
emergency approval MUST be directed to OMB, Office of Information and

regarding the emergency submission of this information collection may
also be submitted via facsimile to Mr. Daniel Chenok at 202-395-6974.
During the first 60 days of this same period, a regular review of
this information collection is also being undertaken. During the
regular review period, the INS requests written comments and
suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the
extension and revision of the proposed collection of information.
Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until [Insert date of the
60th day from the date that this notice is published in the Federal
Register]. During the 60-day regular review ALL comments and
suggestions, or questions

Service, U.S. Department of Justice, Room 5307, 425 I Street, NW.,

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 agencies 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
