same reporting deadline an Incident 

Report (Form DCR–1A), which contains 

specific information on the 

circumstances of the death and 

additional characteristics of the 

decedent. These include: 

• The decedent’s name, date of birth, 

gender, race, and ethnicity. 

• The date, time, and location of the 

death. 

• The law enforcement or 

correctional agency involved. 

• Manner of death. 

States must answer all questions on 

the Incident Report before they can 

submit the form. If the State does not 

have sufficient information to complete 

one of the questions, then the State may 

select the ‘‘unknown’’ answer, if 

available, and then identify when the 

information is anticipated to be 

obtained. 

4. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: 

Primary: State, Local, or Tribal 

Government. 

Abstract: In order to comply with the 

mandate of the DCRA, the Department 

of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, 

is proposing a new data collection for 

State Administering Agencies to collect 

and submit information regarding the 

death of any person who is detained, 

under arrest, or is in the process of 

being arrested, is en route to be 

incarcerated, or is incarcerated at a 

municipal or county jail, State prison, 

State-run boot camp prison, boot camp 

prison that is contracted out by the 

State, any State or local contract facility, 

or other local or State correctional 

facility (including any juvenile facility). 

DOJ proposes the following plan to 

collect DCRA information at the end of 

fiscal year 2019 and beyond. The plan, 

which constitutes ‘‘guidelines 

established by the Attorney General’’ 

pursuant to section 2(a) of the DCRA, 

encompasses provisions specifically 

required by the statute. 

For purposes of this notice, the term 

‘‘reportable death’’ means any death that 

the DCRA or the Department’s 

guidelines require States to report. 

Generally, these are deaths that 

occurred during interactions with law 

enforcement personnel or while the 

decedent was in their custody or in the 

custody, under the supervision, or 

under the jurisdiction of a State or local 

law enforcement or correctional agency, 

such as a jail or prison. Specifically, the 

DCRA requires States to report 

‘‘information regarding the death of any 

person who is detained, under arrest, or 

is in the process of being arrested, is en 

route to be incarcerated, or is 

incarcerated at a municipal or county 

jail, State prison, State-run boot camp 

prison, boot camp prison that is 

contracted out by the State, any State or 

local contract facility, or other local or 

State correctional facility (including any 

juvenile facility).’’ 34 U.S.C. 60105(a). 

Please note that the DCRA 

information that States submit to the 

Department must originate from official 

government records, documents, or 

personnel. 

The DCRA requires quarterly 

reporting. Because these data collection 

guidelines and associated system 

changes will not be finalized until FY 

2019, quarterly reporting will begin 

with the 1st quarter of FY 2020. Deaths 

in prisons and jails occurring during 

2018 and 2019 will be captured by BJS 

through its existing data collection 

program on deaths in prisons and jails. 

Beginning with the first quarter of FY 

2020 (October 2019), quarterly DCRA 

reporting to BJA will include all 

reportable deaths—deaths occurring 

during interactions with law 

enforcement personnel or while in their 

custody and deaths in jail, prison, or 

detention settings. (i.e., deaths 

reportable on Form DCR–1). 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: For purposes of this collection, 

the term ‘‘State’’ includes any State of 

the United States, the District of 

Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto 

Rico, the Virgin Islands, American 

Samoa, Guam, and the Northern 

Mariana Islands. Thus, the affected 

public that will be asked to respond on 

a quarterly basis each federal fiscal year 

includes 56 State and Territorial actors. 

These States will be requesting 

information from approximately 19,450 

State and local law enforcement 

agencies (LEAs), 56 State and Territorial 

departments of corrections, and 2,800 

local adult jail jurisdictions. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: For purposes of this burden 

calculation, it is estimated that for each 

fiscal year there will be a total of 1,900 

reportable deaths by 1,060 LEAs, 1,053 

reportable deaths by 600 jails, and 3,483 

reportable deaths by prisons. For FY 

2020 and beyond, the total projected 

respondent burden is 13,756.49 hours. 

States will need an estimated 4.00 hours 

to complete each Quarterly Summary 

for a total of 4,480.00 hours, 0.25 hours 

to complete each corresponding 

Incident Reports (DCR–1A) for a total of 

1,713.49 hours. For LEAs, the estimated 

burden to assist States in completing the 

Quarterly Summaries is 0.40 hours per 

Report for a total of 1,696.00 hours, and 

a total of 1,425.00 hours, at 0.75 hours 

for each corresponding Incident Report. 

The estimated burden for jails is a total 

of 960.00 hours to assist States in 

completing the Quarterly Summaries 

and 789.75 hours in completing 

Incident Reports. Finally, the estimated 

burden for prisons to assist States in 

completing the Quarterly Summaries is 

a total of 80.00 hours, and a total of 

2,612.25 hours to assist States in 

completing Incident Reports.

public and affected agencies concerning 

the proposed collection of information 

are encouraged. Your comments should 

address one or more of the following

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Office of Tribal 

Justice, including whether the 

information will have practical utility;

estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information,

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Request to the Attorney General for 

Assumption of Concurrent Federal 

Criminal Jurisdiction. 

3. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

No form. The applicable component 

within the Department of Justice is the 

Office of Tribal Justice. 

4. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: The Department of Justice 

published a rule to establish the 

procedures for an Indian tribe whose 

Indian country is subject to State 

criminal jurisdiction under Public Law 

280 (18 U.S.C. 1162(a)) to request that 

the United States accept concurrent 

criminal jurisdiction within the tribe’s 

Indian country, and for the Attorney 

General to decide whether to consent to 

such a request. The purpose of the 

collection is to provide information 

from the requesting tribe sufficient for 

the Attorney General to make a decision 

whether to consent to the request. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: Fewer than 350 respondents; 

80 hours. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated 

maximum 28,000 annual total burden 

hours associated with this collection (up 

to 350 respondents × 80 hours = 28,000 

hours). Fewer than 350 Indian tribes are 

eligible for the assumption of 

concurrent criminal jurisdiction by the 

United States. The Department of Justice 

does not know how many eligible tribes 

will, in fact, make such a request. The 

information collection will require 

Indian tribes seeking assumption of 

concurrent criminal jurisdiction by the 

United States to provide certain 

information relating to public safety 

within the Indian country of the tribe.
