[[Page 23290]]

are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the

    --Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    --Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    --Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and/or
    --Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection: New Voluntary Collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Evaluation of the justice 
AmeriCorp Legal Services for Unaccompanied Children Program.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The applicable component 
within the Department of Justice is the Office of Legal Access 
Programs, Executive Office for Immigration Review.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: This information collection is part of the 
Evaluation of the justice AmericCorp (jAC) Leal Services for 
Unaccompanied Children Program (``Program''), and is funded by the 
Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), U.S. Department of 
Justice (DOJ), in cooperation with the Corporation for National and 
Community Services (CNCS). The Program is intended to provide legal 
services to children under the age of 16 who: (1) Are not in the 
custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement or the Department of 
Homeland Security, i.e. have been released to sponsors (who are 
sometimes parents or guardians) in the community; (2) have received a 
Notice to Appear in removal proceedings before EOIR; and, (3) have not 
had their cases consolidated with removal proceedings with a parent or 
legal guardian. The Program anticipates being able to provide services 
to 3,000 children in the first year, and 5,000 children annually every 
year thereafter. The information collection will be administered by the 
Vera Center on Immigration and Justice to provide performance 
measurement and evaluation services that will contribute to the 
efficiency and effectiveness of the Program, to address implementation 
challenges, to inform and improve program design, to modify program 
operations and direction, and to contribute to greater accountability 
and transparency. The Program will use four data collection methods: 
(1) Performance measurement data entered by jAC member organizations in 
a secure web-based server for the purpose of semi-annual reporting to 
DOJ; (2) qualitative interviews of jAC program managers and selected 
DOJ employees (e.g. immigration judges and court administrators) 
conducted by telephone and in person during site visits for the purpose 
of implementation evaluation; (3) qualitative interviews with a small 
sample of unaccompanied children, who are provided with legal 
representation by the jAC program to document their understanding of 
immigration proceedings as a result of participation in the program; 
and (4) a brief, non-identifiable survey of jAC members (staff 
attorneys) at the end of their terms of service to determine their 
satisfaction with participation in the program.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 100 
jAC members will take part in the survey annually. Based on similar 
surveys used by Vera to evaluate other programs, an average of 30 
minutes per respondent is needed to complete the survey. The estimated 
range of burden for jAC members is expected to be between 15 minutes to 
45 minutes for completion. An estimated 50 children will take part in 
the interview annually. The interview for assessing the child's 
understanding of immigration proceedings is estimated to take 1 hour 
per respondent to complete. The estimated range of burden for children 
interviewed is expected to be between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours for 
completion. The factors considered when creating the burden estimate 
were the young age of the children (between the ages of 12 and 16) and 
the fact that the interview would be conducted in-person. An estimated 
200 jAC program stakeholders will take part in the interview annually. 
Based on similar interviews used by Vera to evaluate other programs, an 
average of 75 minutes per respondent is needed to complete the 
interview. The estimated range of burden for jAC program stakeholders 
is expected to be between 45 minutes to 1.5 hours for completion.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 350 hours. It is estimated that 100 jAC members will take 
30 minutes to complete the survey; 50 children will take 1 hour to 
complete the interview; and 200 jAC stakeholders 75 minutes to complete 
the interview. The burden hours for collecting respondent data sum to 
350 hours ((100 jAC members x 30 minutes = 50 hours) + (50 children x 1 
hour = 50 hours) + (200 jAC stakeholders x 75 minutes = 250 hours)).
