Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: New Voluntary 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: Primary: 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 rights 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, Office of Special Counsel for 
Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC). The OSC then has 
120 days to determine whether to file a complaint with OCAHO on behalf 
of the individual charging party. If the OSC 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 22 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: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 11 hours. It is estimated that 22 forms will be received, 
taking 30 minutes to complete.
