clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on

automated, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Overview of This Information Collection:
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of Currently Approved
Collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 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.
Component Sponsor: Civil Rights Division, Department of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: 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 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 forwards 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 320 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 160 total annual burden
hours associated with this collection.

Management Division, United States Department of Justice, Two
