Overview of this information: 

1. Type of information collection: 

New data collection, Census of ProblemSolving Courts (CPSC), 2012. 

2. The title of the form/collection: 

Census of Problem-Solving Courts or 

CPSC 2012. 

3. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

The form labels are CPSC, 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: Problem-solving courts at all 

levels of government. Abstract: The 

Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) 

proposes to implement a Census of 

Problem-Solving Courts (CPSC). 

Problem-solving courts target 

defendants who have ongoing social 

and/or psychological conditions that 

underlie their repeated contact with the 

criminal justice system. Most of the 

existing information about problemsolving courts (PSC) consists of court 

evaluations or outcome analyses. No 

prior census of these courts has been 

conducted to date despite the 

substantial proliferation of such courts 

during the past thirty years. Hence, the 

CPSC will allow BJS to provide national 

level information on problem-solving 

courts and case processing statistics. 

The CPSC is designed to provide BJS 

and other interested stakeholders with 

the first systematic empirical 

information on problem-solving courts. 

A goal of the census is to obtain 

information on problem-solving court 

operations, staffing, administration, and 

to generate accurate and reliable 

aggregate statistics on offenders who 

enter problem-solving court programs. 

Information will be collected for the 

most recent 12-month period in 2012. 

The CPSC will collect information on 

the following categories: 

a. Court Operations and Staffing 

i. Provide the number of problem-solving 

courts by type (e.g., mental health, drug, 

etc.), 

ii. Determine PSCs level of government 

operations (e.g., local, state, etc.), court 

jurisdiction (e.g., limited, general, other) 

and intake of felony, misdemeanor, or 

status offenses, 

iii. Court session frequency, 

iv. Number of full- and part-time staff 

members currently employed by PSCs. 

b. Funding: Types and prevalence of PSC 

funding (e.g., local government budget, 

state budget, etc.) 

c. Commonly Used Services: 

i. Count the types and prevalence of 

offender/victim services (e.g., anger 

management), counseling or treatment 

services (e.g., outpatient mental health 

treatment), and general supportive 

services (e.g., life skills) 

d. Participant participation 

i. Participant inclusionary and 

exclusionary factors, 

ii. Participant point of entry (e.g. pre-plea, 

post-plea/pre-sentence, etc.) 

iii. Case closure: Benefits of successful 

participation in PSC program (e.g., case 

dismissal). 

e. Capacity and Enrollment 

i. Design Capacity: Total number of active 

participants PSC can manage at any one 

time, 

ii. Current number of active participants. 

f. Data Collection Practices: 

i. Use of automated case management 

systems, 

ii. Ability to share case management 

information with external agencies, 

iii. PSCs’ ability to track participant 

outcomes after graduation. 

g. Selected PSC Aggregate Participant 

information: 

i. Number of offenders admitted for 

participation in PSC over a 12 month 

period, 

ii. Number of offender participants exiting 

program over a 12 month period, 

including type of exit (e.g., successful 

program completion), 

iii. Percentage of participants by gender 

over a 12 month period, 

iv. Percentage of participants by race/ 

ethnicity over a 12 month period. 

5. An Estimate of the Total Number of 

Respondents and the Amount of Time 

Estimated for an Average Respondent to 

Respond: Estimates suggest 3,800 

respondents will take part in the Census 

of Problem-Solving Courts 2012. Based 

on pilot testing and in-house review, the 

average (mean) burden for each 

completed survey is expected to be 

approximately 30 minutes per 

respondent. The estimated range of 

burden for respondents is expected to be 

between 15 minutes to 1 hour for 

completion. The following factors were 

considered when creating the burden 

estimate: the estimated total number of 

problem-solving courts, the ability of 

problem-solving courts to access data, 

and the type of data capabilities 

generally found in the field. BJS 

estimates that nearly all of the 

approximately 3,800 respondents will 

fully complete the questionnaire. 

6. An Estimate of the Total Public 

Burden (in hours) Associated with the 

collection: The estimated public burden 

associated with this collection is 1,918 

hours. It is estimated that respondents 

will take 30 minutes to complete a 

questionnaire. The burden hours for 

collecting respondent data sum to 1,900 

hours (3,800 respondents × 0.5 hours = 

1,900 hours). In addition to 

respondents’ burden of completing the 

census questionnaire, the CPSC requires 

voluntary participation from State 

Points of Contacts (SPOCs) to develop 

an initial list of problem-solving court 

docket contact information. While 

SPOCs will not complete actual 

questionnaires, their effort is a 

necessary first step in identifying the 

universe of problem-solving courts 

nationwide. BJS estimates it will take, 

on average, 20 minutes for each SPOC 

to provide the requested list of problemsolving courts in their respective state. 

There are 54 SPOCS (including DC, 

Guam, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico). 

The total time burden is 18 hours (54 

SPOCS × 20 minutes = 18 hours). 

Therefore the total estimated burden for 

the entire CPSC 2012 project is 1,918 

hours (1,900 hours for respondents + 18 

hours for SPOCS = 1,918 hours).

[TA–W–80,459] 

Roseburg Forest Products, Composite 

Panels Division, Missoula, MT; Notice 

of Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated February 29, 

2012, a company official requested 

administrative reconsideration of the 

negative determination regarding 

workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 

applicable to workers and former 

workers of Roseburg Forest Products, 

Composite Panels Division, Missoula, 

Montana (subject facility). The Notice of 

Determination was issued on February 

2, 2012 and published in the Federal 

Register on February 21, 2012 (77 FR 

9973). 

The workers engage in activities 

related to the production of 

particleboard. The initial determination 

was based on the findings that worker 

separations were not attributable to 

increased imports by the subject firm or 

its declining customers of articles like or 

directly competitive with particleboard 

or a shift/acquisition of these articles to/ 

from a foreign country by the workers’ 

firm. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

petitioner supplied additional 

information regarding possible import 

competition. 

The Department of Labor has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record, and has 

determined that the Department will 

conduct further investigation to 

determine if the workers meet the 

eligibility requirements to apply for 

TAA. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the 

application, I conclude that the claim is 

of sufficient weight to justify 

reconsideration of the U.S. Department 

of Labor’s prior decision. The 

application is, therefore, granted. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of 

March 2012.
