Justification  \n1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of information necessary.  \nIdentify any legal or administrative requirements that necessitate the collection.  \nAttach a copy of the appropriate section of each statute and regulation mandating or authorizing the collection of information.  \nAn alien who seeks to be employed in the United States must apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a document evidencing such employment authorization. Aliens authorized to work in the United States must file an Application for Employment Authorization, Form I-765, to request an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), under 8 CFR 274a.13 . Employers are required to verify a person’s identity and authorization to work in the United States, and the employee is required to provide evidence of his or her authorization to work in the United States. See 8 U.S.C. 1324a(a)(1)(B); 8 CFR 274a.2(b)(1) . This evidence, the EAD (Form I-766), establishes identity and employment authorization.  \nAny individual may be required to submit biometric information if the regulations or form instructions require such information or if requested in accordance with 8 CFR  \n103.2(b)(9). DHS may collect and store for present or future use, by electronic or other means, the biometric information submitted by an individual. DHS may use this biometric information to conduct background and security checks, adjudicate immigration and naturalization benefits, and perform other functions related to administering and enforcing the immigration and naturalization laws. See 8 CFR 103.16; 8 U. S.C. 1103.  \nAn alien may use Form I-765 to simultaneously apply for a Social Security Number and/or Social Security card when applying for employment authorization. USCIS shares information collected on the form with the Social Security Administration (SSA) . This information sharing initiative is conducted pursuant to the Social Security Act 205(c)(2)(B)(I) and 702; the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. sections 1103, 1158, 1225, 1228, and Title II of Public Law 105-100; and 20 CFR 422 . 104; and the Interagency Agreement reached between USCIS and SSA in December 2015 and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between USCIS and SSA, the Addendum to the MOU, USCIS’s FMS Forms 7600 A/B.  \n2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the information is to be used. Except  \nfor a new collection, indicate the actual use the agency has made of the information received from the current collection.  \nForm I-765 collects information needed to determine if an alien is eligible for an initial EAD, a replacement EAD, or a subsequent EAD upon the expiration of a previous EAD under the same eligibility category. Aliens in many immigration statuses are required to possess an EAD as evidence of work authorization. To be authorized for employment, an alien must be lawfully admitted for permanent residence or authorized to be so employed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) or under regulations issued by DHS.  \nPursuant to statutory or regulatory authorization, certain classes of aliens are authorized to be employed in the United States without restrictions as to location or type of employment as a condition of their admission or subsequent change to one of the indicated classes. USCIS may determine the validity period assigned to any document issued evidencing an alien's authorization to work in the United States. These classes of aliens authorized to accept employment are listed in 8 CFR 274a.12 .  \nUSCIS also collects biometric information from certain EAD applicants, from whom USCIS has not previously collected biometrics in connection with an underlying application or petition, to verify the applicant’s identity, check or update their background information, and produce the EAD card.  \nInstead of going to a","cbCaiuHSfe5yZ9Yn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuHSfe5yZ9Yn","pdf",583957,10,"English","# A.
