Overview of This Information Collection
(1)*Type of Information Collection:* Extension, without change, of an existing information collection.
(2)*Title of the Form/Collection:* Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE)Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE).
(3)*Agency form number, if any and the applicable component of the Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection:* (No. Form 73-028); U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
(4)*Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract:* Primary: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program is the outreach and education component of the Office of Homeland Security Investigations
(HSI)Worksite Enforcement
(WSE)program. IMAGE is designed to build cooperative relationships with the private sector to enhance compliance with immigration laws and reduce the number of unauthorized aliens within the American workforce. Under this program, ICE will partner with businesses representing a cross-section of industries. A business will initially complete and prepare an IMAGE application so that ICE can properly evaluate the company for inclusion in the IMAGE program. The information provided by the company plays a vital role in determining that company's admissibility into the program. While 8 U.S.C. 1324(a) makes it illegal to knowingly employ a person who is not in the U.S. legally, there is no requirement for any entity in the private sector to participate in the program and the information obtained from the company should also be available to the public.
(5)*An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond:* 100 responses at 90 minutes (1.50 hours) per response.
(6)*An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection:* 150 annual burden hours. Dated: July 23, 2013 Scott Elmore, Forms Manager, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Department of Homeland Security. [FR Doc. 2013-18032 Filed 7-26-13; 8:45 am]
