information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of

Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: IER Charge Form.
3. Agency form number, if any, and agency component sponsoring the
collection:
Agency form number: Form IER-1
Sponsor: Civil Rights Division, Department of Justice
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Affected public: General Public. Abstract:
The Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) enforces the anti-
discrimination provision (Sec. 274B) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1324b. The statute prohibits: (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
process (Form I-9 and E-Verify), and (4) retaliation or intimidation
for asserting rights or privileges covered by the statute. IER, within
the Department's Civil Rights Division, investigates and, where
reasonable cause is found, litigates charges alleging discrimination.
IER 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, IER may forward the charge to the applicable Federal, state or
local agency for any action deemed appropriate.
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 340 individuals will complete each form annually; each response
will be completed in approximately 30 minutes.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There are an estimated 170 total annual burden
hours associated with this collection.
