Overview of the Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection: New Collection. 2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Certificate of Pardon for Simple Marijuana Offense. 3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: There is no agency form number for this PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 collection. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Office of the Pardon Attorney. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: The President issued a Proclamation on Granting Pardon for the Offense of Simple Possession Marijuana (Proclamation) on October 6, 2022. In that proclamation, he directed the Attorney General, acting through the Pardon Attorney, to develop procedures to ‘‘administer and effectuate the issuance of certificates of pardon to eligible applicants . . . . as soon as reasonably practicable.’’ The Proclamation specifically commands the Pardon Attorney to ‘‘develop and announce application procedures.’’ Accordingly, the Pardon Attorney has developed the subject form to collect information from potential pardon recipients. The application asks applicants to confirm that the petitioner is U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident who was lawfully in the country at the time the marijuana offense occurred; the alien registration or citizenship number of a lawful permanent resident or naturalized citizen applicant; information regarding the specific court in which the applicant was charged or convicted and the date of said conviction, if any; information regarding the applicant’s race, gender, and ethnicity; identifying information regarding the applicant’s date and place of birth; and documentation of the applicant’s charge or convictions. Abstract: The information collected from the Certificate Application will primarily be used to determine whether the applicant qualifies for pardon under the terms of the Proclamation. The information may also be used to provide statistical analysis of the demographics of pardon recipients and applicants. 4. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time E:\FR\FM\03MRN1.SGM 03MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 42 / Friday, March 3, 2023 / Notices estimated for an average respondent to respond: Although the number of persons who may qualify for pardon under the terms of this Proclamation is currently unknowable, the Office of the Pardon Attorney estimate that a potential pool of at least 20,000 applicants may apply. The application for the certificate is simple, and will not take long to complete, between 10 and 30 minutes. The applicants must also provide proof of their prior convictions or charges, which we estimate would take anywhere between 10 minutes to two hours of effort, including research, phone calls, and conversations with necessary personnel to attain the appropriate documentation. Therefore, the Pardon Attorney estimates that it would take approximately 20 minutes, but likely no longer than 2.5 hours per individual to provide the information necessary for the collection. 5. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: Considering the above projected figures, the low-end estimate would be 20,000 × 20 minutes = 400,000 minutes, or approximately 6,667 hours of total burden on the public. The highend estimate is 20,000 × 2.5 hours = 50,000 hours of total burden on the public. If additional information is required contact: John R.

Overview of the Information Collection

    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Certificate of 
Pardon for Simple Marijuana Offense.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: There is no agency form 
number for this collection. The applicable component within the

    Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well

    The President issued a Proclamation on Granting Pardon for the 
Offense of Simple Possession Marijuana (Proclamation) on October 6, 
2022. In that proclamation, he directed the Attorney General, acting 
through the Pardon Attorney, to develop procedures to ``administer and 
effectuate the issuance of certificates of pardon to eligible 
applicants . . . . as soon as reasonably practicable.'' The 
Proclamation specifically commands the Pardon Attorney to ``develop and 
announce application procedures.''
    Accordingly, the Pardon Attorney has developed the subject form to 
collect information from potential pardon recipients. The application 
asks applicants to confirm that the petitioner is U.S. citizen or 
lawful permanent resident who was lawfully in the country at the time 
the marijuana offense occurred; the alien registration or citizenship 
number of a lawful permanent resident or naturalized citizen applicant; 
information regarding the specific court in which the applicant was 
charged or convicted and the date of said conviction, if any; 
information regarding the applicant's race, gender, and ethnicity; 
identifying information regarding the applicant's date and place of 
birth; and documentation of the applicant's charge or convictions.
    Abstract: The information collected from the Certificate 
Application will primarily be used to determine whether the applicant

demographics of pardon recipients and applicants.

estimated for an average respondent to respond: Although the number of 
persons who may qualify for pardon under the terms of this Proclamation 
is currently unknowable, the Office of the Pardon Attorney estimate 
that a potential pool of at least 20,000 applicants may apply. The 
application for the certificate is simple, and will not take long to 
complete, between 10 and 30 minutes. The applicants must also provide 
proof of their prior convictions or charges, which we estimate would 
take anywhere between 10 minutes to two hours of effort, including 
research, phone calls, and conversations with necessary personnel to 
attain the appropriate documentation. Therefore, the Pardon Attorney 
estimates that it would take approximately 20 minutes, but likely no 
longer than 2.5 hours per individual to provide the information 
necessary for the collection.
    5. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: Considering the above projected figures, the low-
end estimate would be 20,000 x 20 minutes = 400,000 minutes, or 
approximately 6,667 hours of total burden on the public. The high-end 
estimate is 20,000 x 2.5 hours = 50,000 hours of total burden on the 
public.
