Abstract: Candidates enter information pertinent to legal employment on a series of electronic screens (the number of screens varies by Program; hiring organizations vary by year). The data is then certified and submitted into a database for OARM review and transmission to the components that consider the candidates for legal employment. The candidate is automatically notified by email that his/her application has been received when he/she certifies and submits his/her electronic application, and provided other hiring status updates throughout the hiring cycle. The Department of Justice developed an in-house electronic application managed by the Office of Chief Information Office (OCIO) Service Delivery Staff (SDS) Application Services Branch (ASB) to replace one previously managed by contract with an outside vendor. There is no impact on the public burden. The questions presented to applicants are unchanged except for the following deletions: • Questions relating to geographic preference; • A checklist of practice area interests; • Two “check the box” questions about undergraduate awards; • A “yes/no” question presented only to SLIP-Pathways applicants asking whether the law school transcript listed failing grades; The estimate of annualized cost to the federal government is $71,429.00. Overview of This Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously approved collection. 2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Electronic Applications for the Attorney General's Honors Program and the Summer Law Intern Program. 3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: N/A. 4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as the obligation to respond: Affected Public- Individuals. The obligation to respond is voluntary. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 1900 candidates apply to the HP & SLIP annually. It is estimated that the electronic application takes approximately one hour to complete and submit. It is further estimated that it takes an average of an additional 45 minutes to review the instructions, search existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete and review the information collected. In addition, approximately 600 HP applicants will complete a Virtual Interview Scheduling form. Each Interview Scheduling Form will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Thus, the annual burden would be 3425 hours based on 1900 applicants (the average number of applications received in the last several years) x 1.75 response hours (estimated time to collect the appropriate information and complete the Program application) plus 100 hours (time for 600 HP candidates to complete the Virtual Interview Scheduling Form). 6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The total annual burden hours for this collection is 3425 hours. 7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the collection, if applicable: $71,492.
