-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (USICE), is submitting the following information collection 
request for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. The Information Collection was previously 
published in the Federal Register on June 2, 2009, Vol. 74, No. 104 
26417, allowing for a 60 day public comment period. USICE received no 
comments on this Information Collection from the public during this 60 
day period.
    The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for 
public comments. Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 
thirty days September 3, 2009.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies regarding items contained in this notice and especially with 
regard to the estimated public burden and associated response time 
should be directed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to the 
OMB Desk Officer for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 
Department of Homeland Security, and sent via electronic mail to [email protected] or faxed to (202) 395-5806.
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information should 
address one or more of the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,

[[Page 39088]]

whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) 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;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) 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: Extension of a currently 
approved Information Collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Baggage and Personal Effects of 
Detained Alien.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection: Form I-43, 
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 form 
is used when an arrested alien has been placed in detention or granted 
voluntary departure under safeguard. The alien completes a voluntary 
statement of the amount and location of baggage or other personal 
property in the United States not in his or her immediate possession. 
It is the responsibility of the arresting officer to ensure that the 
alien is afforded a reasonable opportunity to collect money due or 
dispose of such property. The form also protects the government from a 
later claim by the alien that an opportunity was not given to obtain 
personal effects before departing the United States.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 600,000 
responses at 1 minute (.0167 hours) per response.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 10,020 annual burden hours.
    Requests for a copy of the proposed information collection 
instrument, with instructions; or inquiries for additional information 
regarding this Information Collection should be requested via e-mail 
to: [email protected] with ``ICE Form I-43'' in the subject line.

    Dated: July 30, 2009.
