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.*

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 × 25 minutes = 3,387.5 minutes/60 = 56.45 hours.
