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: Report of Public Safety 
Officers Death Benefits
    3. The agency form number: None.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Public safety agencies experiencing the death of a public 
safety officer according to the PSOB Act.
    Abstract: BJA's Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Office will 
use the PSOB Report of Public Safety Officer's Death 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 report 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.
    Others: None.
    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 no more than 350 respondents will apply a year. Each application 
takes approximately 240 minutes to complete.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) 
associated with the collection: Total Annual Reporting Burden: 350 x 
240 minutes per application = 84,000 minutes/by 60 minutes per hour = 
1400 hours.
