SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Executive Office for Immigration Review

for the immigration courts, https://www.justice.gov/eoir/eoir-policy-manual/part-ii-ocij-practice-manual, and a practice manual for the 
Board of Immigration Appeals (``BIA''), https://www.justice.gov/eoir/eoir-policy-manual/iii (``the Practice Manuals''). The Practice Manuals 
provide uniform standards for practice before the immigration court and 
BIA.
    EOIR is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the Practice 
Manuals, and welcomes all suggestions or concerns from the public to 
inform this review. In particular, EOIR is considering revisions to 
enhance procedural consistency across all immigration courts and 
courtrooms. Members of the public may submit feedback at the public 
forum or in writing to the email address or mailing address outlined 
above. The purpose of the above deadline for written feedback is to 
give the public the opportunity to contribute to this comprehensive 
review, but EOIR will continue to update the Practice Manuals as 
appropriate. Following the closing date for public comments on this 
comprehensive review, EOIR encourages interested parties to continue to 
submit comments about the Practice Manuals as they are ``living 
documents,'' and the ability for the public to submit comments is 
ongoing.
