This new information collection is
necessary to assist ICE in enforcement. By identifying aliens who
intend to voluntarily depart the country in compliance with U.S.
law, ICE can focus efforts on aliens remaining in the country
unlawfully without the intent to comply with departure from the
United States as required. This collection would provide a way for
aliens to voluntarily report intended departure information to
ICE.
Through this collection,
DHS collects biographic and biometric data elements, via mobile
application, from aliens who wish to self-depart from the United
States. DHS uses that information to facilitate self-departure of
those aliens. DHS seeks reinstatement of this collection because
“public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance
procedures are followed.
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.
