Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or households. Other: None. The Department of Justice Attorney Student Loan Repayment Program (ASLRP) is an agency recruitment and retention incentive program based on 5 U.S.C. 5379, as amended, and 5 CFR part 537. Individuals currently employed as a DOJ attorney and incoming hires for attorney positions within the Department may request consideration for the ASLRP. The Department selects new participants during an annual open season each spring and renews current beneficiaries (DOJ employees) who remain qualified for these benefits, subject to availability of funds. There are three forms in the collection: an initial request for consideration; a justification form, and a loan continuation form. The ‘‘initial request’’ form is submitted voluntarily, by current DOJ employees as well as by incoming DOJ attorney hires who, if selected, do not receive benefits until they are a DOJ employee. Renewal requests, submitted by only by current DOJ employees, use a related form not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act—no non-employees would qualify. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply: The Department PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 anticipates about 150 respondents annually will complete the new request form and justification form and apply for participation in the ASLRP. Of those, an average of 21 are incoming attorney hires who have not yet entered on duty with the DOJ. The remaining respondents are current DOJ employees. It is estimated that each new request (including justification) will take two (2) hours to complete. 6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The estimated burden associated with this collection is 42 hours. It is estimated that new applicants will take 2 hours to complete the request form and justification, and, as needed, the loan continuation form. The burden hours for collecting respondent data, 42 hours, are calculated as follows: 21 new respondents who are members of the public × 2 hours = 42 hours.
