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: Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1229(a)(1)(F)(ii) and 8 CFR 
l003.15(d)(2), individuals in EOIR immigration proceedings must provide 
the Immigration Court or Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) with 
written notice of changes to the individual's address and contact 
information within five days of any change. To assist individuals in 
providing such written notice to the agency, EOIR created the Form 
EOIR-33. The form collects the individual's name, alien registration 
number (A-number), former and current contact information (address, 
phone number, and email address), and signature. The form instructs 
that an individual must serve a copy of the Form EOIR-33 on the 
opposing party. This information collection is required when an 
individual in EOIR immigration proceedings changes their address or 
contact information. The Form EOIR-33 is used by EOIR to maintain up to 
date mailing addresses and contact information of individuals who are 
subjects of immigration proceedings before the Immigration Courts and 
BIA so that individuals receive official communications about their 
immigration proceedings from EOIR and the opposing party. EOIR created 
two versions of the Form EOIR-33, one for submission to the Immigration 
Court (EOIR-33/IC) and one for submission to the BIA (EOIR-33/BIA). 
Both versions of the form are available in seven languages (English, 
Spanish, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Punjabi, and Russian) and 
may be filed with the agency and served on the opposing party 
electronically or by mail or hand delivery.

Overview of This Information Collection

    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Change of Address/Contact 
Information Form.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of

    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as the obligation to respond: Individuals and households. The 
obligation to respond is mandatory.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The total 
estimated number of respondents for the EOIR-33/IC and EOIR-33/BIA is 
321,457. It is estimated that each respondent will complete the form in 
approximately 5 minutes.
    6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated total annual burden hours for the 
EOIR-33/IC and EOIR-33/BIA is 26,681.
    7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the 
collection, if applicable: The estimated public cost is zero. There are 
no capital or start-up costs associated with this information 
collection. There are no fees associated with filing the form. There
