Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: FBI National Academy: End-of-
Session Student Course Questionnaire and the FBI National Academy: 
General Remarks Questionnaire.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form is unnumbered. The 
applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Training 
Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: End-of-Session Student Course Questionnaire: 
This information collection is FBI National Academy students that 
represent state and local police and sheriffs' departments, military 
police organizations, and federal law enforcement agencies from the 
United States and over 150 foreign nations.
    General Remarks Questionnaire: This information collection is FBI 
National Academy, these questionnaires have been designed to collect 
feedback from National Academy students regarding their courses and 
instructors. The results are used to help determine if the National 
Academy program is functioning as intended and meeting its goals and 
objectives. We will utilize the students' comments to improve the 
current curriculum.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Approximately 
1,000 FBI National Academy students per year will respond to two types 
of questionnaires. (1) FBI National Academy: End-of-Session Student 
Course Questionnaire and (2) FBI National Academy: General Remarks 
Questionnaire. It is predicted we will receive a 75% response rate for 
both questionnaires. Each student will respond to seven Student Course 
questionnaires--one for each course they completed. The average time 
for reading the questionnaire directions is estimated to be two (2) 
minutes; the time to complete each questionnaire is estimated to be 
approximately 13 minutes. Thus the total time to complete one Student 
Course Questionnaire is 15 minutes and 105 minutes for all seven 
questionnaires. For the FBI National Academy: General Remarks 
Questionnaire, students will respond to one questionnaire. The average 
time for reading the questionnaire directions is estimated to be two 
(2) minutes; the time to complete the questionnaire is estimated to be 
approximately 10 minutes. Thus the total time to complete the General 
Remarks Questionnaire is 12 minutes. The total estimated time for both 
questionnaires per respondent is approximately 117 minutes or about 2 
hours.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection given that approximately 75% of those surveyed or (750) will 
respond, the total public burden for completing all questionnaires is 
1462.5 hours.
