Abstract: The data collected on Form I-312 is used by ICE to ensure that an Obligor presents an official request for remittance of collateral security and/or accrued interest to a duly appointed Attorney In Fact for an Obligor when the Obligor chooses to invoke this option. The data collected on Form I-312A is used by ICE to ensure that an Obligor’s intent to expressly revoke a previously valid Attorney In Fact designation is properly documented.
