Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

should address one or more of the 

following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) 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; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) 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: 

Proposed new collection 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Applications for Attorney Student Loan 

Repayment Program. 

(3) 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 well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households. Other: None. 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. 

The Department selects participants 

during an annual open season each 

spring. 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 

attorneys each year for participation on 

a competitive basis and renews current 

beneficiaries who remain qualified for 

these benefits, subject to availability of 

funds. There are two types of 

application forms: One is for new 

requests, and the other for renewal 

requests. There are also two service 

agreement forms: An initial three-year 

service agreement form, and a one-year 

service extension form. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond/reply: The Department 

anticipates that on a yearly basis, about 

175 respondents will complete the 

application for a new request. In 

addition, each year the Department 

expects to receive approximately 300 

applications from attorneys and law 

clerks requesting renewal of the benefits 

they received in previous years. It is 

estimated that each new application 

will take one (1) hour to complete, and 

each renewal application approximately 

30 minutes to complete. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total estimated annual 

public burden associated with this 

collection is 325 hours.
