Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement with change of a 
previously approved collection
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Claim for Death Benefits
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: Bureau of Justice Assistance. 
Office of Justice Programs, United States Department of Justice
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Eligible survivors of fallen public safety officers.
    Abstract: BJA's Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Office will 
use the PSOB Claim Form information to confirm the eligibility of 
applicants to receive Public Safety Officers' Death Benefits. 
Eligibility is dependent on several factors, including public safety 
officer status, an injury sustained in the line of duty, and the 
claimant status in the beneficiary hierarchy according to the PSOB Act. 
In addition, information to help the PSOB Office identify an individual 
is collected, such as Social Security numbers, telephone numbers, and 
email addresses. Changes to the claim form have been made in an effort 
to streamline the application process and eliminate requests for 
information that are either irrelevant or already being collected by 
other means.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated 
that not more than 350 respondents will apply a year. Each application 
takes approximately 120 minutes.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The Total Annual Reporting Burden: 350 x 120 
minutes per application = 42,000 minutes/by 60 minutes per hour = 700 
hours.
