(1)*Type of Information Collection:* Extension, Without Change, of a Currently Approved Collection.
(2)*Title of the Form/Collection:* Fee Remittance for Certain F, J and M Nonimmigrants.
(3)*Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection:* Form I-901; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
(4)*Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract:* Primary: Individuals or households. This information collection is necessary to implement section 641 of IIRIRA, 8 U.S.C. section1372, which directs DHS to collect information relating to academic nonimmigrant students (F-1), vocational nonimmigrant students (M-1), and exchange visitors (J-1), as well as their dependents (F-2, M-2, or J-2), and provides for the collection of the required fee to defray the costs of this program. Section 641 of IIRIRA requires DHS to collect current information, on an ongoing basis, from schools and exchange visitor program sponsors relating to F, J, and M nonimmigrants during their stay in the United States, using electronic reporting technology to the fullest extent practicable. SEVP implemented the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to carry out this statutory requirement. SEVP used the Form I-901, Fee Remittance for Certain F, J and M Nonimmigrants, to provide a receipt to the F, J, or M nonimmigrant upon payment and to positively identify that a particular F, J, or M nonimmigrant has paid the fee.
