The DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an information collection
request (ICR) cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal.
The DOJ notes that information collection requirements submitted to the
OMB for existing ICRs receive a month-to-month extension while they

Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously
approved collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Notice of Entry of Appearance as
Attorney or Representative Before the Board of Immigration Appeals.

sponsoring business component is the Executive Office for Immigration
Review.

This information is used to allow practitioners of record to file their
entry of appearance for each matter before the Board of Immigration
Appeals, and to notify the Department of Homeland Security of their
representation of a noncitizen in removal proceedings. EOIR updated the
form to utilize the broader term ``practitioner of record,'' as opposed
to ``attorney or representative,'' and added information on how the
entry of a limited appearance differs from that of a practitioner of
record. EOIR made other non-substantive changes for clarity, as well.

per 8 CFR 1003.38(g) and 8 CFR 1003.2(g)(1).
