This final rule adopts, as amended, the proposed rule to authorize the Director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), or his designee, to register attorneys and accredited representatives as a condition of practicing before immigration judges and the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board or BIA). The final rule provides that the Director may establish registration procedures, including a requirement for electronic registration, and may administratively suspend from practice before EOIR any attorney or accredited representative who fails to provide certain registration information. This rule is part of an initiative to create an electronic case access and filing system within EOIR. The Department of Justice (Department) will publish a notice in the Federal Register prior to implementing the registration process. Although this rule is published as a final rule, post-promulgation public comments will be considered as EOIR moves forward with other phases of its electronic access and filing initiative.
The Department estimates that no more than 54,000 private attorneys and accredited representatives will register electronically the first year in order to practice before EOIR. Given that registration only needs to be done once, EOIR anticipates that in each subsequent year, the number of new initial registrants will be significantly lower than the number of such registrants for the first year. While EOIR does not keep statistics on the size of the firms and organizations of attorneys and accredited representatives practicing before EOIR, many of these attorneys and accredited representatives may be classified as or employed by “small entities” as defined under section 601 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. In particular, the Department recognizes that there are attorneys whose firms may be classified as “small businesses” and, thus, as “small entities” under section 601. For example, there may be attorneys practicing before EOIR who are solo practitioners or employed by firms with 2 to 30 people. There are also non-profit religious, charitable, social service, or similar organizations recognized to practice before EOIR under 8 CFR 1292 who employ accredited representatives. Some of these recognized organizations may also be classified as “small organizations” and, thus, as “small entities” under section 601.
The registry will ensure that each attorney or accredited representative is individually and uniquely identified and associated with the registration information that the attorney or accredited representative will provide during registration . This will increase efficiency by reducing system errors in scheduling matters and providing improved notice to attorneys and accredited representatives. Further, registration will ultimately enable an electronic filing system that will reduce Start Printed Page 19403 the time and expense presently incurred with paper filings.
When an attorney or accredited representative registers, he or she will create a unique UserID and password for online access to the registry, and EOIR will assign a unique EOIR identification number (EOIR ID number) to each registrant. [ 5] The EOIR ID number will ensure that each attorney and accredited representative will be specifically identified in the electronic case filing system with his or her registration information. Currently, the Board and each immigration court assign a three-character identifier to attorneys and accredited representatives appearing before them for use in EOIR's case tracking system. As a result, EOIR could have multiple identifiers for the same attorney or accredited representative in different courts, and different attorneys and accredited representatives may have the same identifiers in different courts. This decentralized structure is inadequate for the electronic case filing system that EOIR intends to establish.
[ 1] These amendments provide the Director of EOIR with the authority to require attorneys and accredited representatives to register with EOIR in order to practice before its immigration judges and the Board. [ 2] The rule specifies the information that attorneys and accredited representatives will need to provide to EOIR when registering. The Director will require that attorneys and accredited representatives register through electronic means. [ 3]
EOIR is permitted to authorize individuals to practice in proceedings before immigration judges and the Board. See 8 U.S.C. 1229 a (b) (4) (A) and 8 CFR part 1292. Pursuant to this final rule, attorneys and accredited representatives will need to register in order to be authorized to practice before EOIR. If an attorney or accredited representative who has cases pending with EOIR when this final rule takes effect fails to register by the deadline for registering, EOIR may administratively suspend that individual from practice. [ 4] An attorney or accredited representative Start Printed Page 19401 subject to administrative suspension will be able to resume practicing before EOIR upon his or her completion of the registration process. While administrative suspension, on its own, is not disciplinary in nature, multiple attempts by an unregistered attorney or accredited representative to appear before EOIR may result in disciplinary sanctions. Any individual meeting the definition of “attorney” in 8 CFR 1001.1 (f) (other than one who represents the Federal Government) or the definition of “representative” in 8 CFR 1001.1 (j) is subject to disciplinary sanctions for misconduct, even if the individual is not registered. See 8 CFR 1003.101 (b).
Applying the standards set forth in the OMB guidelines, EOIR has determined that the potential impact of the unauthorized release of the sensitive information described above is moderate, as the unauthorized release of information such as an individual's address, asylum application, records of criminal convictions, financial records, or medical records “could be expected to have a serious adverse effect” on the person involved. [ 12] The OMB guidelines Start Printed Page 19402 require that, where the potential impact of the unauthorized release of sensitive information is moderate, there must exist a “ [h]igh confidence in the asserted identity's validity” in order for an individual to access government services online. [ 13] EOIR's requirement that applicants present photo identification in person will provide EOIR with a high degree of confidence in a registering attorney's or accredited representative's identity, and therefore meets the standards of the OMB guidelines.
An attorney may register up to two additional e-mail addresses for a total of three e-mail accounts that will receive notices of electronic filing. For instance, the attorney's, an assistant's and the firm's general email addresses could all be entered in order to provide coverage for the receipt of filing notices.
