                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS)
                Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (OIDO) is an independent
                office tasked with resolving individual complaints from or about
                individuals in immigration detention regarding the potential violation
                of immigration detention standards or other potential misconduct. OIDO
                was established by Congress (Sec. 106 of the Consolidated
                Appropriations Act, 2020, Pub. L. 116-93). Its intake form is intended
                for use by individuals wishing to submit a complaint to OIDO.
                Information collected will provide the office with details about the
                allegations the submitter seeks to have OIDO address.
                 The information collected on this form will allow OIDO to identify:
                (1) The individual submitting the complaint and their contact
                information; (2) the detained individual who is the subject of the
                complaint; (3) the government-owned or contracted facility where the
                individual is or was detained and for how long; and (4) relevant
                details about the complaint. All of this information will be used by
                OIDO to investigate, resolve, and if appropriate, provide redress.
                 The use of this form is the most efficient means for collecting and
                processing the required data. Initially, collection will be via a paper
                form, which may be obtained from OIDO staff conducting routine visits
                in detention facilities. The form will also be available for download
                from the OIDO website. The PDF form will be able to be completed
                online, printed out, and submitted to OIDO by email, mail, or fax, or
                handed to a staff member in a detention facility.
                 After approval of the form described in this supporting statement,
                an electronic version will be developed so that submitters may complete
                and file via the OIDO website. The paper version will continue to be
                available; it will be noted on the form that using the paper method may
                result in processing delays for OIDO to complete data entry.
                 This information collection does not have an impact on small
                businesses or other small entities.
                 If this information is not collected, OIDO will not be able to
                accomplish its Congressional mandate to provide assistance to
                individuals who may be affected by misconduct, excessive force, or
                other violations of law or detention standards.
                 The assurance of confidentiality provided to the respondents for
                this information collection is based on the forthcoming Privacy Impact
                Assessment for the Immigration Detention Ombudsman Case Management
                System (ID-CMS) (June 21,2021). Additionally, the information collected
                is covered by DHS/ALL-020 Department of Homeland Security Internal
                Affairs, April 28, 2014, 79 FR 23361 and DHS/ALL-025 Law Enforcement
                Authority in Support of the Protection of Property Owned, Occupied, or
                Secured by the Department of Homeland Security System of Records, June
                14, 2017, 82 FR 27274.
                 This information collection was constructed in compliance with
                regulations and authorities under the purview of the DHS Privacy
                Office, DHS OCIO, DHS Records Management, and OMB regulations regarding
                data collection, use, sharing, storage, information security, and
                retrieval of information.
                 There are no changes to the information being collected and there
                is no change to the estimated burden associated with this collection.
                 The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in
                comments which:
                 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
                necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
                including
                [[Page 58922]]
                whether the information will have practical utility;
                 2. 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;
                 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
                be collected; and
                 4. 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
                submissions of responses.
