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 agency’s 

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 

(1) Type of information collection: 

New data collection, Survey of State 

Court Criminal Appeals (SSCCA), 2010. 

(2) The title of the form/collection: 

Survey of State Court Criminal Appeals 

or SSCCA, 2010. 

(3) The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

The form labels are SSCCA–IAC and 

SSCCA–COLR, Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, 

U.S. Department of Justice. 

(4) Affected Public Who Will Be Asked 

or Required to Respond, as well as a 

Brief Abstract: State intermediate 

appellate courts and state courts of last 

resort. Abstract: The 2010 SSCCA will 

focus on criminal cases disposed in a 

national sample of state intermediate 

appellate courts and courts of last resort 

and will aim to obtain information on 

certain key case characteristics of these 

appeals. Some of the information 

collected will include the types of 

criminal cases appealed to state 

intermediate appellate courts and courts 

of last resort, the legal issues raised on 

appeal, the impact of the appellate 

process on trial court outcomes, the 

extent that appellate claims are decided 

on the merits, and case processing time 

for criminal appeals. The 2010 SSCCA 

will also attempt to examine all death 

penalty cases decided on appeal in 2010 

as well as cases that were adjudicated in 

both intermediate appellate courts and 

courts of last resort. All data collected 

will be accurate as of December 2010. 

(5) An Estimate of the Total Number 

of Respondents and the Amount of Time 

Estimated for an Average Respondent to 

Respond: The Survey of State Court 

Criminal Appeals (SSCCA) will collect 

data on a national sample of 

approximately 5,000 criminal appeals 

concluded in all of the nation’s 143 

intermediate appellate courts and courts 

of last resort in 2010. The burden hour 

computation involves both sample list 

generation and case level data 

collection. Each of the nation’s 143 

intermediate appellate courts and courts 

of last resort will be asked to generate 

a sample of all their direct criminal 

appeals disposed in 2010 from which a 

national sample can be drawn for the 

SSCCA. It is estimated that it should 

take 3 hours for each of the nation’s 143 

appellate courts to generate an 

appropriate sample list. The burden 

hour component regarding case level 

data collection involves copying the 

necessary appellate court 

documentation from three major sources 

for submission to the data collection 

agent including (1) The submitted legal 

briefs, (2) the opinions produced by the 

courts, and (3) the docketing 

information. Assuming 35 appeals per 

court (5,000 appeals/143 courts = 35 

appeals) and 10 minutes to copy each 

legal brief or opinion, the burden hours 

to copy these paper documents for each 

court should be about 6 hours for the 

legal briefs and 6 hours for the opinions 

(35 appeals * .17 hours per opinion/ 

brief = 6 hours). In addition to providing 

copies of legal briefs and opinions, it is 

estimated that each appellate court will 

require 3 hours to provide the necessary 

docketing information. 

(6) An Estimate of the Total Public 

Burden (in hours) Associated with the 

collection: The estimated public burden 

associated with this collection is 1,224 

hours. The burden hour computation is 

calculated by identifying those appellate 

courts that have limited online 

accessibility necessitating the 

submission of legal briefs, docketing 

materials, or court opinions for coding 

by the data collection agent. No burden 

hours are associated with collecting data 

from appellate courts with complete 

internet accessibility because all their 

data can be obtained online. It is 

estimated that a total of 795 hours will 

be needed for the appellate courts with 

limited internet accessibility to provide 

the documentation in the form of mailed 

legal briefs/opinions or docket extracts 

to complete the SSCCA data collection. 

The 795 number is calculated by first 

computing the total burden hours 

appellate courts need to provide copies 

of submitted legal briefs (90 courts * 6 

hours per court to provide copies of 

submitted legal briefs = 540 hours); and 

secondly, by computing the total burden 

hours for providing data extracts of 

docketing information (57 courts * 3 

hours per court to provide extracts of 

docketing information = 171 hours); and 

thirdly, by computing the total burden 

hours for providing copies of court 

opinions (14 courts * 6 hours per court 

to provide copies of court opinions = 84 

hours). Hence, 540 hours for providing 

copies of submitted briefs + 171 hours 

for providing data extracts of docketing

5402 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 20 / Monday, January 31, 2011 / Notices 

information + 84 hours for providing 

copies of court opinions = 795 hours. 

When the burden hours for sample list 

generation are added, the total burden 

hours for the SSCCA project sums to 

1,224 hours (795 hours to provide 

necessary case documentation + 429 

hours for sample list generation = 1,224 

hours).

to test or examine certain equipment 

and material handling devices as 

required under the OSHA maritime 

regulations, 29 CFR part 1917 (Marine 

Terminals) and 29 CFR part 1918 

(Longshoring). The OSHA uses this 

information to accredit companies to 

inspect and provide certification for 

cranes, derricks, and accessory gear
