Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension With Change, of a 
Previously Approved Collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Applications for Special 
Deputation.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:
    Form number: USM-3A and USM-3C.
    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: Federal government and State/local government.
    Abstract: The collection of information for these forms is 
authorized by 28 U.S.C. 562. The USMS is authorized to deputize 
selected persons to perform the functions of a Special Deputy U.S. 
Marshal whenever the law enforcement needs of the USMS so require and 
as designated by the Associate Attorney General pursuant to 28 CFR 
0.19(a)(3). USMS Special Deputation files serve as a centralized record 
of the special deputations granted by the USMS to assist in tracking, 
controlling and monitoring the Special Deputation Program.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 
6,000 respondents will complete a 15 minute form (Form USM-3A) and 
5,500 respondents will complete a 10 minute form (Form USM-3C).
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 2,417 hours. It is estimated that applicants will take 15 
minutes to complete a Form USM-3A and 10 minutes to complete a Form 
USM-3C. In order to calculate the public burden for Form USM-3A, USMS 
multiplied 15 by 6,000 and divided by 60 (the number of minutes in an 
hour), which equals 1,500 total annual burden hours. In order to 
calculate the public burden for Form USM-3C, USMS multiplied 10 by 
5,500 and divided by 60 (the number of minutes in an hour), which 
equals 917 total annual burden hours. In sum there are an estimated 
2,417 total annual public burden hours associated with this collection.
