    Overview of this information:
    1. Type of Information Collection:
    Approval of a New Collection.
    2. Title of the Forms:
    FBI National Academy Level 1 Evaluation: Student Course 
Questionnaire.
    FBI National Academy: General Remarks Questionnaire.
    3. Agency Form Number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
department sponsoring the collection:
    Form Number: 1110-XXXX.
    Sponsor: Training Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
(FBI), Department of Justice (DOJ).
    4. Affected Public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: FBI National Academy students that represent State and 
local police and sheriffs' departments, military police organizations, 
and Federal law enforcement agencies from the United States and over 
150 foreign nations.
    Brief Abstract: This collection is requested by FBI National 
Academy. These surveys have been developed to measure the effectiveness 
of services that the FBI National Academy provides. We will utilize the 
students' comments to improve upon the current curriculum.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond:
    Approximately 1,020 FBI National Academy students per year will 
respond to two types of questionnaires. (1) FBI National Academy Level 
1 Evaluation: Student Course Questionnaire and (2) FBI National 
Academy: General Remarks Questionnaire. It is predicted that we will 
receive a 75% respond rate for both surveys. Each student will respond 
to approximately six to seven Student Course Questionnaires--one for 
each class they have completed. The average time for reading the 
directions to each questionnaire is estimated to be 2 minutes; the time 
to complete each questionnaire is estimated to be approximately 20 
minutes. Thus the total time to complete the Student Course 
Questionnaire is 22 minutes.
    For the FBI National Academy: General Remarks Questionnaire, 
students will respond to one questionnaire. The average time for 
reading the directions to this questionnaire is estimated to be 2 
minutes; the time to complete each questionnaire is estimated to be 
approximately 10 minutes. Thus the total time to complete the General 
Remarks Questionnaire is 12 minutes. The total hour burden for both 
surveys is 2,822 hours.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection:
    The average hour burden for completing all the surveys combined is 
2,822 hours.
