Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change, of a
currently approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Unfair Immigration-Related
Employment Practices Complaint Form.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form EOIR-58. The applicable
component within the Department of Justice is the Office of the Chief
Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO), Executive Office for
Immigration Review.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Individuals who wish to file a complaint
alleging unfair immigration-related employment practices under section
274B of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Other: None.
Abstract: Section 274B of the INA prohibits: Employment discrimination
on the basis of citizenship status or national origin; retaliation or
intimidation by an employer against an individual seeking to exercise
his or her right under this section; and ``document abuse'' or
overdocumentation by the employer, which occurs when the employer asks
an applicant or employee for more or different documents than required
for employment eligibility verification under INA section 274A, with
the intent of discriminating against the employee in violation of
section 274B. Individuals who believe that they have suffered
discrimination in violation of section 274B may file a charge with the
Department of Justice, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER). The
IER then has 120 days to determine whether to file a complaint with
OCAHO on behalf of the individual charging party. If the IER chooses
not to file a complaint, the individual may then file his or her own
complaint directly with OCAHO. This information collection may be used
by an individual to file his or her own complaint with OCAHO. The Form
EOIR-58 will elicit, in a uniform manner, all of the required
information for OCAHO to assign a section 274B complaint to an
Administrative Law Judge for adjudication.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
that 23 respondents will complete the form annually; each response will
be completed in approximately 30 minutes.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 11.5 hours.
