Repayment Program Electronic Forms.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form Number: None. Office of 
Attorney Recruitment and Management, Justice Management Division, U.S. 
Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as

    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. Anyone currently 
employed as an attorney or hired to serve in an attorney position 
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 who remain qualified for these 
benefits, subject to availability of funds. There are two application 
forms--one for new requests, and the other for renewal requests. A 
justification form (applicable to new requests only) and a loan 
continuation form complete the collection.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The Department 
anticipates about 275 respondents annually will complete the new 
request form and justification form and apply for participation in the 
ASLRP. In addition, each year the Department expects to receive 
approximately 110 applications from attorneys requesting renewal of the 
benefits they received in previous years. It is estimated that each new 
request (including justification) will take two (2) hours to complete, 
and each renewal request approximately 20 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 586 hours, 40 minutes. It is estimated that new 
applicants will take 2 hours to complete the request form and 
justification and that current recipients requesting continued funding 
will take 20 minutes to complete a renewal form. The burden hours for 
collecting respondent data, 586 hours, 40 minutes, are calculated as 
follows: 275 new respondents x 2 hours = 550 hours, plus 110 renewing 
respondents x 20 minutes = 36 hours, 40 minutes.
