                    (2)                     *The title of the form/collection:*                     Police Public Contact Survey.                

                    (3)                     *The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection:*                     PPCS-1. Bureau of Justice Statistics, Department of Justice.                

                    (4)                     *Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract:*                     Primary: Eligible individuals must be age 16 or older. Other: None. The Police Public Contact Supplement fulfills the mandate set forth by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to collect, evaluate, and publish data on the use of excessive force by law enforcement personnel. The survey will be conducted as a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey in                           ( print page 18583)                        all sample households for a six (6) month period.                

                    (5)                     *An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond/reply:*                     Approximately 15,117 respondents will be eligible for the PPCS each month from July to December 2011. Of the eligible 90,700 persons, we expect approximately 80 percent or 72,600 of the eligible persons will complete a PPCS interview. Of those persons interviewed for the PPCS, we estimate approximately 81.5 percent or 59,100 will complete only the first two (contact screener questions) survey questions. The estimated time to complete the control information on the PPCS form, read the introductory statement, and administer the first two contact screener questions to the respondents is approximately 2 minute per person. Furthermore, we estimate that the remaining 18.5 percent of the interviewed persons or 13,400 persons will report a face-to-face contact with the police during the 12 month reference period prior to the date of interview. The time to ask the detailed questions regarding the nature of the contact is estimated to take an average of 10 minutes. Respondents will be asked to respond to this survey only once during the six month period.                

                    (6)                     *An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection:*                     The Total estimated annual burden hours are 4,193 hours.
