the following four points:

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice 
Assistance, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
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
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
    Overview of this information collection:
    1 Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently approved 
collection.
    2 The Title of the Form/Collection: Public Safety Officers

    Abstract: BJA's Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) division 
will use the PSOEA Application information to confirm the eligibility 
of applicants to receive PSOEA benefits. Eligibility is dependent on 
several factors, including the applicant having received or being 
eligible to receive a portion of the PSOB Death Benefit, or having a 
family member who received the PSOB Disability Benefit. Also considered 
are the applicant's age and the schools being attended. In addition, 
information to help BJA identify an individual is collected, such as 
contact numbers and email addresses.
    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 200 respondents will apply a year. Each application 
takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
    6 An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with 
the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 100 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take 30 
minutes to complete an application. The burden hours for collecting 
respondent data sum to 100 hours (200 respondents x 0.5 hours = 100 
hours).
