Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: New mandatory collection.
    2. Title of the Form/Collection: Change of Address/Contact 
Information Form.
    3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: The agency form 
numbers are EOIR-33/IC and EOIR-33/BIA, and the Executive Office for 
Immigration Review is the Department component sponsoring the 
collection.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    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.
    5. Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. See 8 U.S.C. 
1229(a)(1)(F)(ii); 8 CFR l003.15(d)(2).
    6. Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 321,457.
    7. Estimated Time per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    8. Frequency: Annually.
    9. Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 26,681.
    10. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
