USCIS sends E-Verify information collection to OMB and opens another 30-day public comment period
The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 10, 2026. The text states that DHS, through USCIS, will submit the information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 — and that the purpose of the notice is to open another 30 days of public comment.
What happened
- DHS, through USCIS, will submit to OMB the information collection request described in the notice.
- The submission follows the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the law that governs the approval of federal agency forms and data collections.
- The stated purpose of the notice is to allow an additional 30 days of public comment.
What the notice does not say
The quoted body of the notice does not include a closing date for the comment period, does not describe what was changed in the collection, and does not request any action from those who use the system. The name E-Verify appears in the document's official title — Agency Information Collection Activities; Revision of a Currently Approved Collection: E-Verify Program — but not in the quoted excerpt.
The path forward
Public comment on a Federal Register process is open to anyone. Those who use E-Verify day to day — employer, HR, worker — are familiar with friction that rarely reaches those who draft the form. Open the document on the Federal Register and check the window and submission method on the official page itself.
