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 
Educational Assistance.
    3. The agency form number: None.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Business or other for-profit.
    Others: None.
    Abstract: BJA's Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) Office 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 
spouse or parent 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 new 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 new 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).
