Overview of this information collection:
(1) Type of information collection: Extension of currently approved
collection.
(2) The title of the form/collection: OJP FORM 3650/7 Public Safety
Officers Disability Benefits.
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: None. Bureau of Justice
Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, United States Department of
Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Primary: Dependents of public safety officers who were killed or
permanently and totally disabled in the line of duty.
Abstract: BJA's Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) division
will use the PSOEA Application information to confirm the eligibility
of applicants to receive PSOEA benefits. Eligibility is dependent on
several factors, including the applicant having received or being
eligible to receive a portion of the PSOB Death Benefit, or having a
family member who received the PSOB Disability Benefit. Also considered
are the applicant's age and the schools being attended. In addition,
information to help BJA identify an individual is collected, such as
Social Security number and contact numbers and e-mail addresses. The
changes to the application form have been made in an effort to
streamline the application process and eliminate requests for
information that is either irrelevant or already being collected by
other means.
Others: None.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time needed for an average respondent to respond is as follows: It
is estimated that no more than 75 respondents will apply a year. Each
application takes approximately 120 minutes to complete.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: Total Annual Reporting Burden: 75 x 120 minutes
per application = 9,000 minutes/by 60 minutes per hour = 150 hours.
