document.
    Written comments and/or suggestions are requested from the public 
and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information. Your comments should address one or more of the following 
four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether 
the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the 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).
    The information collection is listed below:
    (1) Type of information collection: Extension of Currently Approved 
Collection.
    (2) The title of the form/collection: Office of Special Counsel for 
Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices Charge Form [OSC Charge 
Form].
    (3) The agency form number and applicable component of the 
Department sponsoring the collection. Form OSC-1. Office of Special 
Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices, Civil 
Rights Division, U.S. Department of Justice.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked to respond, as well as a 
brief abstract: Primary: The Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-
Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC) enforces the anti-
discrimination provision (Sec.  274B) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1324b. Individuals alleging 
discrimination by public and private entities based on (1) citizenship 
or immigration status discrimination in hiring, firing, or recruitment 
or referral for a fee, (2) national origin discrimination in hiring, 
firing, or recruitment or referral for a fee, (3) unfair documentary 
practices during the employment eligibility verification (Form I-9 and 
E-Verify) process, and (4) retaliation or intimidation for asserting 
rights covered by the statute. The Department's Civil Rights Division, 
Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment 
Practices (OSC), investigates and, where reasonable cause is found, 
litigates charges alleging discrimination. OSC also initiates 
independent investigations, at times based on information developed 
during individual charge investigations. Independent investigations 
normally involve alleged discriminatory policies that potentially 
affect many employees or applicants. These investigations may result in 
complaints alleging a pattern or practice of discriminatory activity. 
If the Department lacks jurisdiction over a particular charge but 
believes another agency has jurisdiction over the claim, the charge is 
forwarded to the

applicable Federal, state or local agency for any action deemed 
appropriate.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 300 respondents 
per year at 30 minutes per charge form.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 150 hours annual burden hours associated with this 
collection.
