Abstract: Applicants seeking pardon by the President will be asked
to respond to this collection. The principal purpose for collecting
this information is to enable the Office of the Pardon Attorney to
process applicants' requests for pardon. The information is necessary
to obtain records relating to applicants' medical records to verify
information provided to the Office in the course of the pardon
background investigation and to ensure that the Federal Bureau of
Investigation or its designees can properly obtain and investigate such
information. Overview of this information collection:
1. Type of Information Collection: New collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Authorization for the Release
of Mental Health Information.
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 the Pardon Attorney.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as the obligation to respond: Affected Public:
[[Page 66900]]
Individuals or households. The obligation to respond is voluntary.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Available
information suggests that potentially 1,000 applicants will complete
petitions annually. We estimate an average of five minutes for each
applicant to respond to the collection.
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: Considering the above projected figures, we
estimate 83.3 hours of annual burden hours.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: $0.
