Agency Information Collection Activities; Extension, Without 
Change, of a Currently Approved Collection: Designation of Attorney in 
Fact/Revocation of Attorney in Fact

AGENCY: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of 
Homeland Security.

ACTION: 30-Day notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and 
Customs Enforcement (USICE) will be submitting the following 
information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register (83 FR 44642) on August 
31, 2018, allowing for a 30-day comment period. USICE received no 
comments during this period. Based on better estimates, ICE is making 
an adjustment from the 60-day notice to reflect a decrease in the 
number of respondents. The purpose of this notice is to allow an 
additional 30 days for public comments.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until December 19, 
2018.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, 
especially regarding the estimated public burden and associated 
response time, to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to the 
OMB Desk Officer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of 
Homeland Security, and sent via electronic mail to 
[email protected]. All submissions must include the words 
``Department of Homeland Security'' and the OMB Control Number 1653-
0041.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies 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, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies 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

collected on Form I-312A is used by ICE to ensure that an Obligor's 
intent to expressly revoke a previously valid Attorney In Fact 
designation is properly documented.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 700 responses
