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 agency, 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: A party affected by a decision of a Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Officer may appeal that decision to the Board
of Immigration Appeals (BIA or Board), provided that the Board has
jurisdiction pursuant to 8 CFR 1003.1(b). The party must complete the
Form EOIR-29 and submit it to the DHS office having administrative
control over the record of proceeding in order to exercise its
regulatory right to appeal.
EOIR has revised the form so that respondents can provide a safe
mailing address where they can safely and timely receive mail. EOIR has
made the following substantive changes to the form: allowing
respondents to provide a safe mailing address and to designate another
individual to receive mail; and including new fields for the
respondent's street address, apartment or unit number, city, state, and
zip code, rather than a single field for the respondent's address. In
addition, EOIR has made the following non-substantive changes:
modifying the appearance and formatting of the General Instructions;
revising the existing form instructions for clarity; and updating links
to web pages and resources embedded throughout the form. EOIR intends
these revisions to reduce the public's burden in completing the form
and to reduce the Agency's processing time for each form.
Overview of this information collection:
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision and extension of a
currently approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Notice of Appeal to the Board
of Immigration Appeals from a Decision of a DHS Officer.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of

4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as

5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated
annual number of respondents for the Form EOIR-29 is 3,056. The
estimated time per response is 30 minutes.
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total annual burden hours for this collection
