    The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs 
Enforcement (ICE), will be submitting the following information 
collection request for review and clearance in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The information collection is

    Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for sixty days until 
June 13, 2011. Written comments and suggestions from the public and 
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information 
should address one or more of the following four points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including 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 
submission of responses.
    Overview of this information collection:
    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently

period of time, a verification of departure is not received, actions 
are taken to locate the alien or ascertain his or her whereabouts. The 
ICE form G-146 is used to inquire of persons in the U.S. or abroad
