Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

concerning the proposed collection of 

information are encouraged. Your 

comments should address one or more 

of the following four points: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

—Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

—Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 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:

Extension of a currently approved 

collection.

(2) Title of the Form/Collection:

National Judicial Reporting Program 

(NJRP). 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection:

Form Number: NJRP–1. Bureau of 

Justice Statistics, Office of Justice 

Programs, Department of Justice. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: State Court 

Authorities. The National Judicial 

Reporting Program (NJRP) is the only 

collection effort that provides an ability 

to maintain important statistics on 

felons convicted and sentenced in state 

courts. The NJRP enables the Bureau of 

Justice Statistics, Federal, State, and 

local correctional administrators, as 

well as, legislators, researchers, and 

planners to track changes in the 

numbers and types of offenses and 

sentences felons convicted in state 

courts receive. The NJRP also tracks 

changes in the demographics, 

conviction type, number of charges, 

sentence length, and time between 

arrest, conviction and sentencing of 

felons convicted in state courts. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: This survey will collect data 

for approximately 450,772 felons, from 

300 responding jurisdictions, at twoyear intervals. The annual burden on 

the respondents is based on the number 

of hours involved in either providing an 

automated data file or printout from an 

existing data base, or manually 

transferring the information from court 

records to the NJRP–1 form. The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

8.013 hours per respondent. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The burden hours have been 

estimated based on the following 

calculations: 300 Respondents × 8.013 

Hours = 2,404. Therefore, the total 

estimated burden hours associated with 

this collection are 2,404.
