Abstract: This is a previously approved collection of information and is used by EOIR to allow attorneys and authorized representatives to enter their appearance as the practitioner of record for individuals in immigration proceedings before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). The information collected by the form is also used to notify the opposing party, the Department of Homeland Security, that a practitioner will be representing individuals in BIA immigration proceedings. EOIR published a notice of proposed rulemaking to implement the statutory authority given to immigration judges to sanction by civil money penalty any action or inaction in contempt of the judge's proper exercise of authority. This proposed rule sets forth the types of conduct for which civil money penalty sanctions may be imposed, the procedures for imposing these sanctions, the affirmative defenses that may excuse the imposition of a civil money penalty sanction, and the procedures for appealing such sanctions. EOIR has submitted an information collection request for the proposed Form EOIR-86 so that sanctioned individuals can appeal contempt orders and sanctions to the BIA and permit the BIA to collect the information necessary to process and docket such appeals. Sanctioned individuals may be represented by a practitioner in such appeal proceedings. Accordingly, EOIR is also submitting an emergency request to approve revisions to the Form EOIR-27 to enable practitioners to enter their appearance on behalf of sanctioned individuals in contempt appeal proceedings established by the proposed rule.
