Written comments and/or suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

concerning the proposed collection of 

information should address one or more 

of the following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

function of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) 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: 

(1) Type of information collection: 

(2) The title of the form/collection: 

Bureau of Justice Assistance 

Application Form for the Southwest 

Border Prosecution Initiative. 

(3) The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

None. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: State, Local or Tribal 

government. 

Other: None. 

Abstract: The Southwest Border 

Prosecutor Initiative was enacted in FY 

2002 to reimburse state, county, parish, 

or municipal governments for the costs 

associated with the prosecution of 

criminal cases declined by local U.S. 

Attorneys. Each year, hundreds of 

criminal cases resulting from federal 

arrests are referred to local prosecutors 

to handle when the cases fall below 

certain monetary, quantity, or severity 

thresholds. This places additional 

burdens on local government resources 

that are already stretched by the 

demands of prosecuting violations of 

local and state laws. This program 

provides funds to eligible jurisdictions 

in the four southwest border states, 

using a uniform payment-per-case basis 

for qualifying federally initiated and 

declined-referred criminal cases that 

were disposed of after October 1, 2001. 

Up to 220 eligible jurisdictions may 

apply. This includes county 

governments and the four state 

governments in Arizona, California, 

New Mexico, and Texas. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond/reply: It is estimated that no 

more than 220 respondents will apply. 

Each application takes approximately 60 

minutes to complete and is submitted 4 

times per year (quarterly). 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total hour burden to 

complete the applications is 880 hours 

(880 applications (220 × 4 times a year) 

× 60 minutes per application = 52,800/ 

60 minutes per hour = 880 burden 

hours).
