Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of information collection: Revision and renewal of a
Currently Approved Collection.
2. The title of the form/collection: Electronic Applications for
the Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the department sponsoring the collection: There is no agency form
number for this collection. The applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the 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 Department of Justice Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program
(ASLRP) is an agency recruitment and retention incentive program based
on 5 U.S.C. 5379, as amended, and 5 CFR part 537. Individuals currently
employed as a DOJ attorney and incoming hires for attorney positions
within the Department may request consideration for the ASLRP. The
Department selects new participants during an annual open season each
spring and renews current beneficiaries (DOJ employees) who remain
qualified for these benefits, subject to availability of funds. There
are three forms in the collection: an initial request for
consideration; a justification form, and a loan continuation form. The
``initial request'' form is submitted voluntarily, by current DOJ
employees as well as by incoming DOJ attorney hires who, if selected,
do not receive benefits until they are a DOJ employee. Renewal
requests, submitted by only by current DOJ employees, use a related
form not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act--no non-employees would
qualify.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: The
Department anticipates about 150 respondents annually will complete the
new request form and justification form and apply for participation in
the ASLRP. Of those, an average of 21 are incoming attorney hires who
have not yet entered on duty with the DOJ. The remaining respondents
are current DOJ employees. It is estimated that each new request
(including justification) will take two (2) hours to complete.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated burden associated with this
collection is 42 hours. It is estimated that new applicants will take 2
hours to complete the request form and justification, and, as needed,
the loan continuation form. The burden hours for collecting respondent
data, 42 hours, are calculated as follows: 21 new respondents who are
members of the public x 2 hours = 42 hours.
