U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Pardon Attorney Washington, D.C. 20530 February 23, 2024 Via Email Mr. Joseph Nye OMB Policy Analyst Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs New Executive Office Building Washington, DC 20530 Dear Mr. Nye: As the Deputy Pardon Attorney of the United States in the Office of the Pardon Attorney (PARDON), I am submitting the following Spanish Language version of the attached Petition for Commutation of Sentence (Petition) pursuant to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Petition was previously approved on November 30, 2023, under OMB Approval Number 1123-0015. This letter intends to notify you of a Spanish-language version of the approved form. Purpose of Changes In order to better serve a significant portion of the population that is likely to utilize a Spanish-language petition, and to comply with Executive Order 13166 “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (Aug. 2000), the Department of Justice Language Access Policy,1 PARDON has developed its own language access plan.2 In conjunction with publishing our language access plan, PARDON has begun seeking Spanish-language translations of its OMB-approved forms. The attached is a Spanish-language version of the commutation petition. Also attached is the Certificate of Translation from our certified translator, attesting to the veracity of the translated document. Once approved, PARDON intends to host a PDF-version of the Spanish language application on our website, distribute to the Bureau of Prisons (where much of the Spanish-speaking population of potential commutation applicants resides), and otherwise make it generally available to members of the public. Importantly, the Spanish-language version of the Petition contemplates identical collection but merely increases the populations who may utilize the form. Please allow this letter to serve as advisement of the Spanish-language form. Thank you for your prompt consideration of this request. Please contact, me, Kira Gillespie, Deputy Pardon Attorney of the Office of the Pardon Attorney by email at [email protected] or by phone at (202) 616-6073 if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, Kira J. Gillespie Deputy Pardon Attorney Office of the Pardon Attorney U.S. Department of Justice
