    Overview of this Information Collection:
    (1) Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: FBI National Academy: End-of-
Session Student Course Questionnaire FBI National Academy: General 
Remarks Questionnaire
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department sponsoring the collection: Agency form number: Unnumbered. 
Sponsoring component: Training Division, Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI), Department of Justice (DOJ).
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: 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 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/reply: It is 
estimated that 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 (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: Given that approximately 75% of those surveyed (or 
750) will respond, the total public burden for completing all 
questionnaires is 1462.5 hours.
