SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, 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; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; 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) The Title of the Form/Collection: 

National Corrections Reporting Program. 

The collection includes the following 

parts: Prisoner Admission Report, 

Prisoner Release Report, Prisoners in 

Custody at Year-end Report, PostCustody Community Supervision Entry 

Report, Post-Custody Community 

Supervision Exit Report. 

(3) The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

Form number(s): NCRP–1A, NCRP–1B, 

NCRP–1D, NCRP–1E, NCRP–1F. The 

applicable component within the 

Department of Justice is the Bureau of 

Justice Statistics (Corrections Unit), in 

the Office of Justice Programs. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: 50 state departments 

of corrections (DOCs) and 7 parole 

boards (in six states and the District of 

Columbia). The National Corrections 

Reporting Program (NCRP) is the only 

national data collection furnishing 

annual individual-level information for 

state prisoners at five points in the 

incarceration process: Prison admission, 

prison release, annual year-end prison 

custody census, entry to post-custody 

community corrections supervision, and 

exits from post-custody community 

corrections supervision. BJS, the U.S. 

Congress, researchers, and criminal 

justice practitioners use these data to 

describe annual movements of adult 

offenders through state correctional 

systems, as well as to examine long-term 

trends in time served in prison, 

demographic and offense characteristics 

of inmates, sentencing practices in the 

states that submit data, transitions 

between incarceration and community 

corrections, and recidivism. Providers of 

the data are personnel in the states’ 

Departments of Corrections and Parole, 

and all data are submitted on a 

voluntary basis. The NCRP collects the 

following administrative data on each 

inmate in participating states’ custody: 

• County of sentencing 

• State and federal inmate 

identification numbers 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 131 / Monday, July 9, 2018 / Notices 31779 

• Dates of: Birth, prison admission, 

prison release, projected prison release, 

mandatory prison release, eligibility 

hearing for post-custody community 

corrections supervision, post-custody 

community corrections supervision 

entry, post-custody community 

corrections supervision exit 

• First, middle, and last names 

• Demographic information: Sex, 

race, Hispanic origin, education level, 

prior military service, date and type of 

last discharge from military 

• Offense type and number of counts 

per inmate for a maximum of three 

convicted offenses per inmate 

• Total sentence length imposed 

• Type of facility where inmate is 

serving sentence (for year-end custody 

census records only, the name of the 

facility is also requested) 

• Type of prison admission 

• Type of prison release 

• Location of post-custody 

community supervision exit or postcustody community supervision office 

(post-custody community supervision 

records only) 

• Social security number 

• Address of last residence prior to 

incarceration 

• Prison security level at which the 

inmate is held 

For consideration, BJS is proposing to 

add the following items to the NCRP 

collection, all of which are likely 

available from the same databases as 

existing data elements and should likely 

pose minimal additional burden to the 

respondents, while enhancing BJS’s 

ability to characterize the corrections 

systems and populations it serves: 

• Status of current U.S. citizenship 

• Country of current citizenship 

• Country of birth 

Finally, BJS is proposing to remove 

the following items from the NCRP 

collection, based on a combination of 

low response rates (less than 50% of 

states) and/or high levels of missing 

data (30% or higher missing) among 

states that do respond: 

• Prior prison time served by the 

offender 

• Additional offenses since admission 

date 

• Additional sentence time since 

admission date 

• Whether the offender was on 

AWOL or escape while serving 

sentences 

• Whether the offender was serving 

time concurrently on community release 

prior to prison release 

• The number of days on community 

release prior to prison release served by 

the offender 

• Agencies assuming custody at the 

time of prison release 

• Offender’s supervision status prior 

to release from post-custody community 

supervision 

• Whether the offender’s maximum 

sentence includes a mandatory 

minimum sentence 

• Whether the offender’s maximum 

sentence includes a Truth in Sentencing 

Law restriction 

• The length of court-imposed 

sentence to community service for the 

offender 

BJS uses the information gathered in 

NCRP in published reports and 

statistics. The reports will be made 

available to the U.S. Congress, Executive 

Office of the President, practitioners, 

researchers, students, the media, others 

interested in criminal justice statistics, 

and the general public via the BJS 

website. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: BJS anticipates 57 respondents 

to NCRP by 2021: 50 state DOC 

respondents and seven separate parole 

boards (in six states and the District of 

Columbia). Burden hours for the three 

collection years (2019–2021) differ 

based on whether a state has previously 

submitted NCRP prison and PCCS data 

in recent years. All 50 DOCs have 

recently submitted NCRP prison data, 

but currently, only 32 DOCs have 

submitted PCCS data in the last four 

years. 

Burden Hours for Prison Records 

(NCRP–1A, NCRP–1B, NCRP–1D) 

All 50 DOCs have recently submitted 

NCRP prison data, so the average time 

needed to continue providing prison 

data is expected to be 8 hours per 

respondent for both prisoner admissions 

and releases (NCRP–1A and NCRP–1B) 

and 8 hours for data on persons in 

prison at year-end (NCRP–1D). For 

2019, the total burden estimate of 16 

hours per DOC for these three record 

types is increased by 45 minutes from 

the previous NCRP OMB submission, to 

account for the addition and removal of 

variables from states’ extract programs 

(a 30 minute increase to add citizenship 

questions to NCRP–1A and NCRP–1D, 

and a 15 minute increase to remove the 

11 variables). The total amount of time 

estimated for 50 DOCs to submit NCRP– 

A, –B, and –D records in 2019 is 837.5 

hours (16.75 hours*50 = 837.5 hours). 

In 2020 and 2021, BJS expects to have 

all 50 DOCs providing NCRP prison 

data. The burden for provision of the 

NCRP prison data will decrease to 14 

hours per respondent due to the 

removal of the 11 items (7 hours for the 

prison admission and release records 

combined, and 7 hours for the year-end 

custody records), for a total of 700 hours 

annually for the 50 DOCs in 2020 and 

2021 (14 hours*50 = 70 hours). 

Burden Hours for PCCS Records 

(NCRP–1E, NCRP–1F) 

There are currently 37 jurisdictions 

submitting PCCS data (32 DOCs and 5 

parole boards), and BJS estimates that 

extraction and submission of both the 

PCCS entries and exits takes an average 

of 8 hours per jurisdiction. In 2019, BJS 

anticipates that 8 additional DOCs and 

one parole board (likely the District of 

Columbia) will submit data, with the 

burden for each new jurisdiction being 

24 hours to set up extraction programs 

and make the submission. Thus, the 

burden for PCCS records is 296 hours 

for those already submitting (8 hours*37 

= 296 hours), and 216 hours for new 

submissions (24 hours*9 = 216). The 

total amount of time for all PCCS 

submissions in 2019 is 512 hours. 

In 2020, BJS hope to recruit an 

additional 2 DOCs and the remaining 

parole board to submit NCRP PCCS 

data. The total estimate for submission 

of PCCS for new jurisdictions in 2020 is 

72 hours (24 hours*3 = 72 hours). For 

those 40 DOCs and 6 parole boards 

currently responding, provision of the 

PCCS data in 2020 will total 368 hours 

(8 hours*46 = 368 hours). The total 

amount of time for all PCCS 

submissions in 2020 is 440 hours. 

Similarly, BJS hopes that the 

remaining 2 DOCs will submit PCCS 

data for the first time in 2021. The 

remaining non-reporting DOCs would 

need a total of 48 hours to create data 

extraction programs and begin data 

submission (24 hours*2 = 48 hours). 

Those jurisdictions (42 DOCs and 7 

parole boards) who provided NCRP 

PCCS data in 2020 will require 392 

hours total to do the same in 2021 (8 

hours*49 = 392 hours). The total 

amount of time for all PCCS 

submissions in 2021 is 440 hours. 

Burden Hours for Data Review/Followup Consultations 

Follow-up consultations with 

respondents are usually necessary while 

processing the data to obtain further 

information regarding the definition, 

completeness and accuracy of their 

report. The duration of these follow-up 

consultations will vary based on the 

number of record types submitted, so 

BJS has estimated an average of 3 hours 

per jurisdiction to cover all of the 

records (prison and/or PCCS) submitted. 

In 2019, BJS anticipates that one of the 

two parole boards not currently 

submitting PCCS data will begin to 

submit, so the number of jurisdictions 

requiring follow-up consultations is 51 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
31780 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 131 / Monday, July 9, 2018 / Notices 

(50 DOCs submitting at least the prison 

data, and one parole board submitting 

only PCCS data). This yields a total of 

153 hours of follow-up consultation 

after submission (3 hours*51 = 153 

hours). 

This total estimate of 153 hours for 

data review/follow-up consultations 

remains the same for 2020 and 2021. 

Total Burden Hours for Submitting 

NCRP Data 

BJS anticipates that the total burden 

for provision and data follow-up of all 

NCRP data across the participating 

jurisdictions in 2019 is 1,502.5 hours 

(837.5 hours for prison records, 512 

hours for PCCS records, and 153 hours 

for follow-up consultation). This is 

equivalent to roughly 29 hours per 

respondent. The total annual burden for 

provision and follow-up of NCRP data 

in 2020 and 2021 is anticipated to be 

1,293 hours (700 hours for prison 

records, 440 hours for PCCS records, 

and 153 hours for follow-up 

consultation). 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated 

1,502.5 total burden hours associated 

with this collection in 2019, and 1,293 

hours in both 2020 and 2021.

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: OVW 

Solicitation Template. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Justice sponsoring the 

collection: Form Number: 1122–0020. 

U.S. Department of Justice, OVW. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: The affected public 

includes applicants to OVW grant 

programs authorized under the Violence 

Against Women Act of 1994 as 

amended. These include States, 

territories, Tribes or units of local 

government, institutions of higher 

education including colleges and 

universities, tribal organizations, 

Federal, State, tribal, territorial or local 

courts or court-based programs, State 

sexual assault coalitions, State domestic 

violence coalitions; territorial domestic 

violence or sexual assault coalitions, 

tribal coalitions, community-based 

organizations, and non-profit, 

nongovernmental organizations. The 

purpose of the solicitation template is to 

provide a framework to develop 

program-specific announcements 

soliciting applications for funding. A 

program solicitation outlines the 

specifics of the funding program; 

describes the requirements for 

eligibility; instructs an applicant on the 

necessary components of an application 

under a specific program (e.g. project 

activities and timeline, proposed 

budget): and provides registration dates, 

due dates, and instructions on how to 

apply within the designated application 

system. OVW is proposing revisions to 

the current OMB-approved solicitation 

template to reduce duplicative language, 

employ plain language, ensure 

consistency, outline all requirements 

clearly, and conform with 2 CFR part 

200, Uniform Administrative 

Requirements, Cost Requirements, Cost 

Principles, and Audit Requirements for 

Federal Awards. 

(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 

information will be collect annually 

from the approximately 1800 

respondents (applicants to the OVW 

grant programs). The public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated at up to 30 hours per 

application. The 30-hour estimate is 

based on the amount of time to prepare 

a narrative, budget and other materials 

for the application and, if required, to 

coordinate with and develop a 

memorandum of understanding with 

requisite project partners. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated public burden 

associated with this collection is 54,000 

hours.
