Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Officer candidate application takes significant time
People applying to be NIH police officer candidates would complete a specific application form. NIH estimates 15 applicants per year, with an average burden of 8 hours per application (120 hours total annually).
NIH police forms proposed collection
The NIH proposes six law-enforcement forms and asks OMB to approve the collection for 3 years. The agency estimates a total annualized respondent burden of 3,209 hours across 18,548 responses and says there are no costs to respondents other than their time; comments are open for 60 days from January 15, 2025.
Extended visitor forms replace repeated badges
NIH will use three extended visitor forms (Patient, Non‑Patient, Generic) so people who need recurring access don’t have to get temporary badges repeatedly. The forms are estimated to generate 11,180 patient responses (1,863 hours), 4,560 non‑patient responses (760 hours), and 2,500 generic responses (417 hours) per year.
Police warning notice may include campus ban
NIH proposes a Police Warning Notice that individuals must sign; the form can also document that a person is banned from campus. The agency estimates 258 responses per year for this form, at 10 minutes per response (43 hours total).
Authorization for release used in hiring checks
NIH will use an Authorization for Release of Information form for potential hires so background checks can determine suitability. Estimated use is 15 responses per year at 10 minutes each (3 hours total annually).
Statements and affidavits for campus incidents
NIH will collect witness statements and affidavits about on‑campus incidents using a form that captures event chronology and perspectives. The agency estimates 20 responses per year at 10 minutes each (3 hours total).
