the following four points:

whether the information will have practical utility;

the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
[[Page 94765]]
--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 made the following substantive changes to the form:
allowing respondents to provide a safe mailing address and to designate
another individual to receive mail; replacing the field for the
respondent's petition form number with a new field for the respondent's
petition receipt number; 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.
