Impact Statement

    These revised instructions are being published to alert the 
applicant of modifications to current filing procedures for the INS 
Form I-765. In the past, many aliens were required to be physically 
present in an INS office for production of the employment authorization 
document. At that time an immigration official would take the necessary 
photographs, obtain the applicant's signature, and physically look at 
other documents to ensure eligibility for employment authorization.
    Under this new filing procedure 75% (percent) of applicants will 
now be able to mail in their applications, and photographs along with 
copies of relating documents in support of the request for employment 
authorization into an INS central location for processing.
    This process should improve efficiency of the I-765 process, 
improve the delivery of services to the applicant (public), maximize 
resources, tighten inventory control, and ensure increased security and 
the integrity of EAD production.
    We believe that these new guidelines provide clear directions to 
applicants concerning who can file, how to file, where to file and when 
to file their applications for employment authorization documents.
