Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Reinstatement of the Identity Theft 

Supplement, with changes, a previously 

approved collection for which approval 

has expired. 

(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 

2021 Identity Theft Supplement. 

(3) The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

The form number for the questionnaire 

is ITS–1. The applicable component 

within the Department of Justice is the 

Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office 

of Justice Programs. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Respondents will be persons 

16 years or older living in households 

located throughout the United States 

sampled for the National Crime 

Victimization Survey (NCVS). The ITS 

will be conducted as a supplement to 

the NCVS in all sample households for 

a six (6) month period. The ITS is 

primarily an effort to measure the 

prevalence of identity theft among 

persons, the characteristics of identity 

theft victims, and patterns of reporting 

to the police, credit bureaus, and other 

authorities. The ITS was also designed 

to collect important characteristics of 

identity theft such as how the victim’s 

personal information was obtained; the 

physical, emotional and financial 

impact on victims; offender information; 

and the measures people take to avoid 

or minimize their risk of becoming an 

identity theft victim. BJS plans to 

publish this information in reports and 

reference it when responding to queries 

from the U.S. Congress, Executive Office 

of the President, the U.S. Supreme 

Court, state officials, international 

organizations, researchers, students, the 

media, and others interested in criminal 

justice statistics. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: An estimate of the total 

number of respondents is 104,910. An 

estimated 90.2% of respondents 

(94,630) will have no identity theft and 

will complete the short interview with 

an average burden of eight minutes. 

Among the 9.8% of respondents 

(10,280) who experience at least one 

incident of identity theft, the time to ask 

the detailed questions regarding the 

aspects of the most recent incident of 

identity theft is estimated to take an 

average of fifteen minutes. Respondents 

will be asked to respond to this survey 

only once during the six-month period. 

The burden estimate is based on actual 

interview times from the 2018 ITS, an 

analysis of the 2021 ITS questionnaire 

changes, and mock interviews done 

with the 2021 questionnaire. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated 

15,185 total burden hours associated 

with this collection.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, conducts a preclearance 

consultation program to provide the 

general public and federal agencies with

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Chief Evaluation 

Office (CEO) of the U.S. Department of 

Labor (DOL) intends to design and 

conduct evaluations of DOL-funded 

apprenticeship initiatives through the 

Apprenticeship Evidence-Building 

Portfolio. The portfolio of initiatives 

includes the Scaling Apprenticeship 

Through Sector-Based Strategies grants, 

Closing the Skills Gap grants, Youth 

Apprenticeship Readiness grants, and 

other DOL investments. The goal of this 

five-year study is to build evidence on 

apprenticeship models, practices, and 

partnership strategies in high-growth 

occupations and industries. The overall 

study is comprised of several 

components: (1) An implementation 

study of the Scaling Apprenticeship and 

Closing the Skills Gap grants to develop 

typologies of apprenticeship models and 

practices, identify promising strategies 

across the portfolio, and to better 

understand the implementation of 

models to help interpret impact 

evaluation findings; (2) a study of 

registered apprenticeship state systems 

and partnerships to assess their capacity 

to develop, design, modify, implement, 

replicate, sustain, expand/scale up, and 

evaluate apprenticeship strategies and 

models; and (3) an implementation 

evaluation of the Youth Apprenticeship 

Readiness grant program to understand 

service delivery design and 

implementation, challenges, and 

promising practices. DOL will submit 

additional ICRs for future data 

collection requests for this overall 

study.
