-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Justice (DOJ), Justice Management Division,
Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management (OARM), will be
submitting the following information collection request to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed information
collection is published to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days
until May 11, 2010. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR
1320.10.
Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained
in this notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and
associated response time, should be directed to the Office of
Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attention: Department of Justice Desk Officer, Washington, DC 20530.
Additionally, comments may be submitted to OMB via facsimile to 202-
395-7285. Comments may also be submitted to the Department Clearance
Officer, United States Department of Justice, Suite 1600, 601 D Street,
NW., Washington, DC 20530.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are
encouraged. Your comments 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 agencies 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: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
(2) The title of the form/collection: Electronic Applications for
the Attorney General's Honors Program and the Summer Law Intern
Program.
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the department sponsoring the collection: Form Number: none. Office of
Attorney Recruitment and Management, Justice Management Division, U.S.
Department of Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. Other:
None. The application form is submitted voluntarily, once a year by law
students and judicial law clerks who will be in this applicant pool
only once; the revision to this collection concerns two additional
forms required to be submitted only by those applicants who were
selected to be interviewed by DOJ components. Both of these forms seek
information in order to prepare both the official Travel Authorizations
prior to the interviewees' performing pre-employment interview travel
(as defined by 41 CFR 301-1.3), and the official Travel Vouchers after
the travel is completed. The first new form is the Travel Survey--used
by the Department in scheduling travel and/or hotel accommodations,
which in turn provides the estimated travel costs required by the
Travel Authorization form. The second new form is a simple
Reimbursement Form--the interviewees are asked to provide their travel
costs and/or hotel accommodations (if applicable) in order for the
Department to prepare the Travel Vouchers required before these
interviewees can be reimbursed by the Department for the authorized
costs they incurred during this pre-employment interview travel.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: It is
estimated that 5000 respondents will complete the application in
approximately 1 hour per application. The revised burden would include
600 respondents who will complete the travel survey in approximately 10
minutes per form, and 600 respondents who will complete the
reimbursement form in approximately 10 minutes per form.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated revised total annual public burden
associated with this application is 5200 hours.
