SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the following four points: —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; —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; —Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
                    ( print 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. Overview of This Information Collection 1.
