SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information should
address one or more of the following four points:
(1) 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;
(2) 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;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) 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.
Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: Extension, Without Change, of a
Previously Approved Collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) Mutual Agreement Between Government and Employers
(IMAGE) Self-Assessment Questionnaire.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection: 73-028; U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Business or other for-profit; Not-
for-profit institutions. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Mutual Agreement Between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program is
the outreach and education component of the Homeland Security
Investigations (HSI) Worksite Enforcement (WSE) program. IMAGE is
designed to build cooperative relationships with the private sector to
enhance compliance with immigration laws and reduce the number of
unauthorized aliens within the American workforce. Under this program
ICE will partner with businesses representing a cross-section of
industries. A business will initially complete and prepare an IMAGE
application so that ICE can properly evaluate the company for inclusion
in the IMAGE program. The information provided by the company plays a
vital role in determining its suitability for the program. While 8
U.S.C. 1324(a) makes it illegal to knowingly employ a person who is not
in the U.S. legally, there is no requirement for any entity in the
private sector to participate in the program and the information
obtained from the company should also be available to the public.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 66 responses at
90 minutes (1.5 hours) per response.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total estimated annual hour burden is 99
hours.
