for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical
utility;

proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and

Abstract: Applicants seeking commutation of sentence by the

purpose for collecting this information is to enable the Office of the
Pardon Attorney to process applicants' requests for pardon after
completion of sentence. The information is necessary to verify
applicants' identities, conduct investigation of the applicants'
backgrounds, criminal records, and conduct since their conviction, and
to provide notice to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S.
Attorneys' Offices, U.S. Probation Offices, and federal courts in the
event of grants of executive clemency.
