30-day Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 150 / Thursday, August 7, 2025 / Notices
evidence including the IER complaint
and IER letter informing the individual
that they may file Form EOIR–58 with
OCAHO) at an estimated average
printing cost of ten cents per page, for
a total print cost of $15.00 per response.
The current Priority Mail postage cost to
mail one complete Form EOIR–58
package is estimated at $10.10. There
are no filing fees for EOIR–58. There are
no labor costs for unrepresented (pro se)
individuals because the form may be
completed solely by the individual.
However, if an individual chooses to
obtain representation to complete and
file the Form EOIR–58, the cost to the
individual will include the average
hourly wage for attorneys based on the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics average
estimate of $72.67 per hour for every
hour the attorney spends completing the
form. Therefore, the maximum total
estimated cost burden to the public is
$3,715.26 (($15.00 + $10.10 + $72.67) ×
38 responses). EOIR OCAHO continues
to work towards implementing full
electronic processing with the
anticipated implementation of its
electronic filing system, which would
eliminate the copying and postage costs
for filing this form. Until the OCAHO
electronic filing system is fully
implemented, the affected public may
avoid these costs by submitting the
Form EOIR–58 via email.

Abstract: This information collection
reauthorization and revision is

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

necessary to allow an attorney or
representative to notify the Board of
Immigration Appeals (Board) or the
Immigration Court that he or she is
entering a limited appearance to assist
a pro se respondent with a legal filing
or other document to be filed with
EOIR. Pursuant to the Final Rule,
Professional Conduct for Practitioners—
Rules and Procedures, and
Representation and Appearances, 87 FR
56247 (Sept. 14, 2022) (effective Nov.
14, 2022), amending the regulations at 8
CFR 1003.2(g)(1), 1003.17(b) and (c),
and 1003.38(g)(2), the agency received
OMB approval to issue separate standalone forms for the entry of a limited
appearance for document assistance
before each adjudicatory component as
the most appropriate method for the
collection of this information. The
separate forms EOIR–60 and EOIR–61
are intended to provide greater clarity to
the practitioners using the forms, the
pro se respondents who are only
engaging with the practitioners in a
limited capacity, and for the EOIR staff
processing the forms. EOIR is revising
the forms to account for expanded
electronic filing options with the launch
of the online EOIR Courts and Appeals
System (ECAS) Respondent Access
Portal (RAP) in July 2024. EOIR made
revisions to Forms EOIR–60 and EOIR–
61 to include updates to remove the
mail only filing restrictions and inform
the users that they may review the EOIR
Policy Manual for filing guidance. The
Proof of Service section has been
revised to include an option for
individuals to indicate that they are
serving the opposing party
electronically through ECAS. The
Privacy Act notice is also revised to
correct the citation to the system of
records notice (SORN) for the Attorney
Discipline System, JUSTICE/EOIR–003,
published at 85 FR 32423 (May 29,
2020), and to inform respondents that
limited case information is also
available online in English or Spanish
through the EOIR Automated Case
Information System at https://
acis.eoir.justice.gov/en/. Finally, a
sentence was added to the second page
of the Form EOIR–60 to clarify and
emphasize that limited appearances for
document assistance are not available in
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) proceedings that the Board has
jurisdiction over.
5. Obligation to Respond: This
information collection is mandatory and
required to enter an appearance before
EOIR as authorized by 8 U.S.C. 1229(a),
1362 and 8 CFR 1003.38. Failure to
provide the requested information will

result in an inability to enter a limited
appearance for document assistance.
6. Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: It is estimated that 40
respondents will complete Form EOIR–
60 filed with the Board. It is estimated
that 22,018 respondents will complete
Form EOIR–61 filed with the
Immigration Courts.
7. Estimated Time per Respondent: 6
minutes (0.1 hour).
8. Frequency: Once a year.
9. Total Estimated Annual Time
Burden: The total annual burden hours
for Forms EOIR–60 and EOIR–61 is
2,206 hours.
10. Total Estimated Annual Other
Costs Burden: There are no capital or
start-up costs associated with these
forms. There are no fees to file the
forms. The forms may be filed
electronically to eliminate printing and
postage costs. Attorneys or other
authorized representatives are expected
to complete the forms. The United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics
estimates the median hourly fee for
attorneys at $72.67. Therefore, the cost
for an attorney or other authorized
representative to complete the form in 6
minutes is estimated at $7.27 per
submission ($72.67 per hour × 0.10
hours × 1 response = $7.27 per
response). The total annual estimated
cost burden to individuals is
$160,310.02 (2,206 total estimated
burden hours × $72.67 per hour).
