SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
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 
Statistics, 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: FBI National Academy Post--
End-of-Session Student Course Questionnaire--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 Training Division, Department of 
Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: 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.
    This collection is requested by the FBI National Academy. These 
questionnaires have been designed to collect feedback from National 
Academy graduates and their supervisors to determine the type of impact 
the National Academy program had on their organization. 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 graduates 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 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.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 1462.5 hours given that approximately 75% of those 
surveyed (or 750) will respond.
