Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: reinstatement without change of 
a previously approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Public Safety Officer Medal of 
Valor (Pub. L. 107-12).
    3. The agency form number: There is no form number associated with 
this information collection. The nomination process is managed through 
the internet, using the Office of Justice Programs' (OJP) Public Safety 
Officer Medal of Valor (MOV) online nomination system at: https://bja.ojp.gov/program/medalofvalor.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The information that is being collected is 
solicited from federal, state, local and tribal public safety agencies, 
who wish to nominate their personnel to receive the Public Safety 
Officer Medal of Valor (MOV). This information is provided on a 
voluntary basis, includes agency and nominee information along with 
details about the events for which the nominees are to be consider when 
determining who will be recommended to receive the MOV.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements established by the PREA standards are based 
on incidents of sexual abuse. An estimated 13,119 covered facilities 
nationwide are required to comply with the PREA standards. If all 
covered facilities were to fully comply with all of the PREA standards, 
the new burden hours associated with the staff time that would be 
required to collect and maintain the information and records required 
by the standards would be approximately 1.16 million in the first year 
of full compliance, or about 89 hours per facility.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: Base upon the average number of submissions over 
the referenced two-year period, and the estimated time required to 
complete each submission, the estimated annual public burden would be 
56.45 hours.

a. 135.5 x 25 minutes = 3,387.5 minutes/60 = 56.45 hours.
