lawful permanent resident or 

naturalized citizen applicant; 

information regarding the specific court 

in which the applicant was charged or 

convicted and the date of said 

conviction, if any; information regarding 

the applicant’s race, gender, and 

ethnicity; identifying information 

regarding the applicant’s date and place 

of birth; and documentation of the 

applicant’s charge or convictions. 

The information collected from the 

Certificate Application will primarily be 

used to determine whether the applicant 

qualifies for pardon under the terms of 

the Proclamation. The information may 

also be used to provide statistical 

analysis of the demographics of pardon 

recipients and applicants. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

Revision of a previously approved 

collection. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Application for Certificate of Pardon for 

Simple Possession of Marijuana. 

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 

Office of the Pardon Attorney. 

4. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as the 

obligation to respond: Affected Public: 

Individuals or households. The

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: Available information suggests 

that the new proclamation has 

approximately doubled the potential 

applicant pool. However, the review of 

the applications received within a 10- 

month time frame indicates that 1,500 

applicants annually is a reasonable 

projection. We estimate an average of 

120 minutes for each applicant to 

respond to the collection. 

6. An estimate of the total annual 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: Considering the above 

projected figures, we estimate hours of 

annual burden to the public. 

7. An estimate of the total annual cost 

burden associated with the collection, if 

applicable: $0.

conduct since their conviction, and to 

provide notice to the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation, U.S. Attorneys’ Offices,
