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

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

Abstract: Certain individuals who are deportable from the United
States may be eligible to request that the Attorney General suspend
their deportation and adjust their status under former section 244 of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). See also 8 CFR 1240.55
(2024). An applicant seeking suspension of deportation may file Form
EOIR-40 based on the individual facts and circumstances in his/her
case. To be granted such relief from deportation, the applicant must
prove that s/he meets all the statutory prerequisites for such relief
and that s/he is entitled to a favorable exercise of discretion. The
form contains information, such as identifying characteristics,
residence, employment history and family information, which is
necessary for the Attorney General to determine the statutory
eligibility of individual noncitizens, who have been determined to be
deportable from the United States, for suspension of their deportation
pursuant to former section 244 of the INA.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Renewal, with change, of a
currently approved collection. EOIR is making a few non-substantive
changes to the current Form EOIR-40, to include typographical and
grammatical edits, adding appropriate spacing between words, and
removing unnecessary spacing and symbols between words. EOIR is also
making several minor but substantive changes to the current Form EOIR-
40, to include removing the word ``alien'' from the document, and
replacing it with the word ``noncitizen''; clarifying the description
of the dimension of an applicant's facial image for passport
photographs; modifying the sentence explaining the purpose and
instructions of this form; adding ``other'' as an alternate option for
gender identity; changing the word ``home'' phone number to ``cell''
phone number; and including a privacy act statement.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Suspension of
Deportation.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is EOIR-40;
the sponsoring component is Executive Office for Immigration Review,
United States Department of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as the obligation to respond: Primary: Individual noncitizens
determined to be deportable from the United States. Other: None.
Abstract: This information collection is necessary to determine the
statutory eligibility of individual noncitizens, who have been
determined to be deportable from the United States, for suspension of
their deportation pursuant to former section 244 of the INA and 8 CFR
1240.55 (2011).
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
that 147 respondents will complete the form annually with an average of
5 hour and 45 minutes per response.
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this
collection is 845.25 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take
5 hour and 45 minutes to complete the form.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable:
