Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: New Collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: FBI Special Agent Application 
Process Review Form.
    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 
Department of Justice is the FBI.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Individuals; Anyone who has filled out any 
part of the FBI Special Agent Application in the previous three years 
will be asked to complete a brief voluntary survey recalling their 
experience and preparation tactics for the application process. This 
information is being collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
for the purpose of improving the ease of the application process, 
eliminating any systematic barriers to success for applicants, and 
better understanding how to recruit and retain qualified applicants.

time estimated for an average respondent to respond: We estimate 
roughly 40,000 individuals have applied to the Special Agent position 
at the FBI in the previous 3 years, we will solicit this entire 
population to participate in the voluntary survey though it is unlikely 
all 40,000 WILL respond. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes 
to complete.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 6,667 total hours of public burden, 10 minutes per 
survey for 40,000 respondents.
