• Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, including whether the information will have practical utility;
• 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;
• Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
• 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: Approval of a New Collection.

(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: FBI National Academy: United States Holocaust Museum's Law Enforcement and Society Questionnaire.

(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: None given

(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 on behalf of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). As part of the FBI National Academy's 10-week training, law enforcement professionals attend a guided tour at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum lead by the Law Enforcement and Society program (LEAS). The purpose of the tour is to allow law enforcement officers to examine the role of the law enforcement profession and how it played in the Holocaust.

The purpose of the proposed data collection is to gather feedback from FBI National Academy students about their experience with LEAS during the tour. The results will help determine if the LEAS program is meeting its goals and objectives to better serve future law enforcement professionals participating in the FBI National Academy. In addition, the proposed data collection will be used to ensure the presentations and educational material is current and applicable.

(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Approximately 1,000 FBI National Academy students per year will receive the questionnaire, and the average time to complete will be about 15 minutes. (The number of students is based on appropriate number of students from fiscal years 2012-2013). Though we would like a 100% response rate, we anticipate a 75% response rate of those surveyed (or 750); with 25% of the students not responding to the questionnaire.

(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: Given that the approximately 75% of those surveyed (or 750) will respond, the total public burden for completing the questionnaire is 187 hours.
