whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83): 
Extension of a currently approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Leased/Charter/Contract 
Personnel Expedited Clearance Request.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:
    Form number (if applicable): USM-271.
    Component: U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Individuals or households.
    Abstract: This form is to be completed by people applying to become 
contract personnel. It is required so that USMS can perform an 
expedited background check before workers may be hired to transport 
USMS and Bureau of Prisons prisoners.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 180 
respondents will utilize the form, and it will take each respondent 
approximately 5 minutes to complete the form.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 15 hours. It is estimated that applicants will take 5 
minutes to complete a Form USM-271. In order to calculate the public 
burden for Form USM-271, USMS multiplied 5 by 180 and divided by 60 
(the number of minutes in an hour), which equals 15 total annual burden 
hours.
