SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--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.
Abstract: This information collection is optional and voluntary. It
is used by EOIR to standardize and streamline requests for records
related to cases or proceedings before EOIR pursuant to the Privacy Act
and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). An individual who is in or has
been in proceedings before EOIR and seeks to authorize the disclosure
of their information, including information retained in case files or a
Record of Proceeding (documents, and if applicable, audio recordings),
to an attorney, accredited representative, qualified organization, or
other third party may use this form to authorize the disclosure.
Revisions were made to the form to improve the Agency's implementation
of the identity and guardianship verification requirements set forth in
28 CFR 16.41 and to ensure that privacy-protected information is not
improperly released.
