The data collected on Forms G-28 and G-28I are used by DHS to determine eligibility of the individual to appear as a representative. Form G-28 is used by attorneys admitted to practice in the United States and accredited representatives of charitable organizations recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals. Form G-28I is used by attorneys admitted to the practice of law in countries other than the United States and only with matters filed in DHS offices outside the geographical confines of the United States.
There is a decrease in the estimated total hour burden for respondents to this information collection as a result of the decrease in the estimated total number of respondents from 2,778,700 to 2,638,276. USCIS anticipates that fewer Form G-28s will be filed as a result of the H1-B registration process because fewer Form I-129 petitions, which are accompanied by Form G-28 when filed by an attorney or accredited representative, will be filed. The number of Form G-28s filed will decrease correspondingly.
There has been no change to the estimated cost burden to respondents for this collection of information.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
