DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Information Collections Under Review

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has been sent the 
following collection(s) of information proposals for review under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 USC Chapter 35) and the 
Paperwork Reduction Reauthorization Act since the last list was 
published. Entries are grouped into submission categories, with each 
entry containing the following information:
    (1) the title of the form/collection;
    (2) the agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection;
    (3) who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief 
abstract;
    (4) an estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond;
    (5) an estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection; and,
    (6) an indication as to whether Section 3504(h) of Public Law 96-
511 applies.
    Comments and/or suggestions regarding the item(s) contained in this 
notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and associated 
response time, should be directed to the OMB reviewer, Mr. Jeff Hill, 
on (202) 395-7340 AND to the Department of Justice's Clearance Officer, 
Mr. Robert B. Briggs, on (202) 514-4319. If you anticipate commenting 
on a form/collection, but find that time to prepare such comments will 
prevent you from prompt submission, you should notify the OMB reviewer 
AND the Department of Justice Clearance Officer of your intent as soon 
as possible. Written comments regarding the burden estimate or any 
other aspect of the collection may be submitted to Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
Washington, DC 20503, AND to Mr. Robert B. Briggs, Department of 
Justice Clearance Officer, Systems Policy Staff/Information Resources 
Management/Justice Management Division, Suite 850, WCTR, Washington, DC 
20530.

Extension of a Currently Approved Collection

    (1) Application for Employment--Federal Bureau of Investigation.
    (2) Form FD-140. Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States 
Department of Justice.
    (3) Primary: Individuals or households. Other: None. In March, 
1995, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved a revised 
Standard Form 85, ``Questionnaire for National Security Positions,'' 
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act, as the exclusive form to be 
used by all federal agencies for investigations, preliminary to 
granting an individual access to classified national security 
information. Further, the scope of the investigation conforms to the 
scope of the questions on the new standard form (i.e., a seven year 
scope). The presumption is that the information collected on the new 
form is sufficient for agency purposes. However, if agencies need to 
collect additional information or use an alternate form, OMB's approval 
will be required. At the present time, all FBI employees occupy special 
sensitive positions and are required to possess a ``Top Secret'' 
security clearance. All applicants (for employment) complete an FBI 
application form (FD-140), rather than a Standard Form 85. The FD-140 
serves the dual purpose of addressing suitability as well as security 
issues/concerns and calls for an investigative scope beyond the seven-
year scope of the revised Standard Form 86.
    (4) 50,000 annual respondents 2.0 hours per response.
    (5) 100,000 annual burden hours.
    (6) Not applicable under section 3504(h) of Public Law 96-511.
    Public comment on this item is encouraged.
