SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written

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 EOIR, 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
—Minimize the burden of the collection

Abstract: Regulations prescribe who
may represent individuals in
immigration proceedings. The Assistant
Director for Policy (or the Assistant
Director for Policy’s delegate), in the

exercise of discretion, may accord
recognition to organizations, which are
then able to seek full or partial
accreditation of their representative(s) to
practice before EOIR and the

organization for accreditation of its
representative(s). An individual who
receives full accreditation may represent
aliens before EOIR and DHS; an
individual who receives partial
accreditation may represent aliens
before DHS only. 8 CFR 1292.12(a).

The regulation also establishes
specific maximum time limits for
contributions becoming plan assets that
apply to employee pension benefit plans
(with a special rule for SIMPLE IRA
plans) and employee welfare benefit
plans. The regulation sets a maximum
time limit of 15 business days following
the end of the month in which the
participant contribution amounts are
received or withheld by the employer.
The regulation includes a procedure
through which an employer receiving or
withholding participant contributions
for an employee pension benefit plan
may obtain a 10-business-day extension
of the 15-day maximum time period for
contributions received or withheld in a
single month if certain requirements,
including information collection
requirements, are met.
The regulation requires, among other
things, that the employer provide
written notice to plan participants
within five business days after the end
of the extension period and the
employer’s transfer of the contributions
to the plan, for which the employer
elected to take the extension that month.
The notice must explain why the
employer could not transfer the
participant contributions within the
maximum time period, state that the
