Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of information collection: 

Reinstatement, with change, of a 

previously approved collection for 

which approval has expired. 

(2) The title of the Form/Collection: 

2012–2013 Census of State and Federal 

Adult Correctional Facilities. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Justice sponsoring the 

collection: Form Number: CJ–43A 

Individual Facility List; CJ–43B: 

Individual Facility Information; and CJ– 

43 2013 Census of State and Federal 

Adult Correctional Facilities (under 

development; this form will be 

submitted to OMB in a substantive 

change package in 2012). Corrections 

Statistics Unit, Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, 

United States Department of Justice. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

to respond, as well as a brief abstract: 

Primary: State Departments of 

Corrections authorities. Others: 

Authorities from the Federal Bureau of 

Prisons and administrators of privatelyoperated prison facilities. The Census of 

State and Federal Correctional Facilities 

obtains information on individual 

facilities designed to house adults 

sentenced to confinement by State, 

Federal, or District of Columbia courts. 

These facilities include prisons, 

penitentiaries, and correctional 

institutions; boot camps; prison farms; 

reception, diagnostic, and classification 

centers; road camps; forestry and 

conservation camps; youthful offender 

facilities (except in California); 

vocational training facilities; prison 

hospitals; drug and alcohol treatment 

facilities; prerelease centers; halfway 

houses; and State-operated local 

detention facilities. 

The CJ–43A, Facility Roster: an 

estimated 71 respondents from state 

departments of correction, the Federal 

Bureau of Prisons, and corporations 

operating private prisons will be 

provided with a list of facilities in their 

jurisdictions (CJ–43A). Respondents 

will be asked to provide the information 

requested in the CJ–43B (see below) for 

each individual facility in their 

jurisdiction. Respondents can opt to use 

this listing to aid them in identifying 

individual facilities in operation on 

March 31, 2012, the anticipated survey 

reference date, or they can opt to 

provide the information based on a list 

of facilities generated through their own 

data systems. The CJ–43A is intended to 

be used as an aid and is not intended 

as an instrument to be filled out, so 

there is no burden associated with this 

instrument. 

The CJ–43B collection instrument: an 

estimated 71 respondents from state 

departments of correction, the Federal 

Bureau of Prisons, and corporations 

operating private prisons will be asked 

to provide basic facility information for 

an estimated 2,200 adult correctional 

facilities. The CJ–43B identifies the 

elements to be collected for each 

facility. These items include name and 

location of the facility, sex of inmates 

housed, physical security of the facility, 

percentage of inmates regularly 

permitted to leave the facility 

unaccompanied, a one-day count of 

inmates by sex, and future plans to 

modify or close the facility. Based on 

the preference of the respondent, these 

data can be submitted via an electronic 

datafile generated from the respondent’s 

information management system or via 

individual forms for each facility. The 

Bureau of Justice Statistics will use 

information obtained from the CJ–43B to 

develop a sampling frame for future 

inmate surveys as well as to respond to 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
1088 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 5 / Monday, January 9, 2012 / Notices 

queries from the U.S. Congress, 

Executive Office of the President, the 

U.S. Supreme Court, state officials, 

international organizations, researchers, 

students, the media, and others seeking 

facility-level statistics. 

The CJ–43: Respondents from state 

departments of correction, the Federal 

Bureau of Prisons, and corporations 

operating private prisons will be asked 

to provide detailed facility information 

for an estimated 2,200 facilities in 

operation. This collection instrument is 

under development, but is expected to 

include items regarding facility 

characteristics, such as facility 

functions, capacity, and court orders or 

consent decrees under which facilities 

are operating; population 

characteristics, including special 

populations housed; staff 

characteristics; measures of facility 

security; and facility programs. BJS 

expects to consult with corrections 

experts and professionals to determine 

other topical items to be included in 

this collection. These statistics will 

provide a snapshot of adult correctional 

institutions in the United States and 

will be used to respond to queries from 

administrators, legislators, researchers, 

and planners to track changes in the 

numbers and types of facilities in 

operation, changes in staffing, security 

issues, and programs/services available 

to inmates in the state and federal 

correctional systems. A supplemental 

approval will be submitted to OMB 

when the materials are ready for review. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: 2,200 responses at 15 minutes 

each for the CJ–43B. The estimated time 

is based on feedback from state and 

federal corrections department staff. The 

total burden estimate is based on the 

conservative assumption that all 

respondents would submit separate 

forms for each facility; however, it is 

expected that the majority of 

respondents will choose to submit a 

single electronic file generated from 

their information management systems. 

The CJ–43 is still in the planning stages. 

A supplemental approval and burden 

adjustment will be sought through OMB 

when the materials are ready for review. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated 550 

annual total burden hours associated 

with the collection.
