Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Renewal, with change, of a 
currently approved 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: The form number is EOIR-58, 
Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer (OCAHO), Executive 
Office for Immigration Review, United States Department of Justice.
    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 right under this section; and ``document 
abuse'' or over-documentation 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, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section 
(IER). The IER then has 120 days to determine whether to file a 
complaint with OCAHO on behalf of the individual charging party. If the 
IER 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 26 respondents will complete the form annually with an average of 
30 minutes per response.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 13 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take 30 
minutes to complete the form.
