Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently

    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: This information collection is an assessment 
of the FBI Laboratory services by law enforcement agencies (federal, 
state, and local) that submit evidence for examination. The information 
collected is used by FBI Laboratory management to evaluate the quality 
of the forensic services provided to law enforcement. Additionally, the 
FBI Laboratory is accredited by the American Society of Crime 
Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB) under 
the ASCLD/LAB-International Accreditation Program. A requirement for 
maintaining accreditation is for the FBI Laboratory to seek feedback, 
both positive and negative, from its customers. This feedback is 
evaluated to improve the services of the FBI Laboratory. The 
information gathered in the FD-1000 will meet this requirement.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 3000 
respondents will complete the assessment with an estimated range of 
burden for respondents to be 5 minutes for completion.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this 
collection is 250 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take 5 
minutes to complete the assessment. The burden hours for collecting 
respondent data sum to 250 hours (3000 respondents x 5 minutes = 250 
hours).
