Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension, without change, of a
currently approved collection.

The nomination process is managed through the internet, using the
Office of Justice Programs' (OJP) MOV online nomination system at:
<a href="https://www.bja.gov/programs/medalofvalor/index.html">https://www.bja.gov/programs/medalofvalor/index.html</a>.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The information that is being collected is
solicited from federal, state, local and tribal public safety agencies,
who wish to nominate their personnel to receive the Public Safety
Officer Medal of Valor (MOV). This information is provided on a
voluntary basis, includes agency and nominee information along with
details about the events for which the nominees are to be consider when
determining who will be recommended to receive the MOV.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Over the last four
application submission periods, (2014-2015 thru 2017-2018), there were
a total of 550 nominations received. Taking this number into account,
the average number of nominations that are anticipated to be received
on an annual basis is 137.5. This number does not factor in the ongoing
outreach efforts (e.g. marketing and social media outreach) that are
intended to increase the number of annual submissions. In addition, it
is projected that the application submission process takes
approximately 25 minutes. This would include, reviewing the fields of
required and optional information, arranging the information and
populating the online application form.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: Base upon the average number of submissions over
the last 4 years, and the estimated time required to complete each
submission, the estimated annual public burden would be 53.54 hours.
a. 137.5 x 25 minutes = 3,437.5 minutes/60 = 57.29 hours
