Clearance for Cognitive, Pilot and Field 

Studies for Bureau of Justice Statistics 

Data Collection Activities 

AGENCY: Bureau of Justice Statistics, 

Department of Justice. 

ACTION: 30-Day notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice 

(DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), 

Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), 

intends to request approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for a generic information 

collection clearance that will allow BJS 

to conduct a variety of cognitive, pilot, 

and field test studies. BJS will submit 

the request for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted for 30 days until March 

25, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Over the 

next three years, BJS anticipates 

undertaking a variety of new surveys 

and data collections, as well as 

reassessing ongoing statistical projects, 

across a number of areas of criminal 

justice, including law enforcement, 

courts, corrections, and victimization. 

This work will entail developing new 

survey instruments, redesigning and/or 

modifying existing surveys, procuring 

administrative data from state and local 

government entities, and creating or 

modifying establishment surveys. BJS 

will engage in cognitive, pilot, and field 

test activities to refine instrumentation 

and data collection methodologies, 

inform BJS data collection protocols, 

develop accurate estimates of 

respondent burden, and minimize 

respondent burden associated with each 

new or modified data collection. BJS 

envisions using a variety of techniques, 

including (but not limited to): Tests of 

different types of survey and data 

collection operations; focus groups; 

cognitive testing; pilot testing; 

exploratory interviews; experiments 

with questionnaire design; and usability 

testing of electronic data collection 

instruments. 

Following standard Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

requirements, BJS will submit a change 

request to OMB individually for every 

group of data-collection activities 

undertaken under this generic 

clearance. BJS will provide OMB with a 

copy of the individual instruments or 

questionnaires (if one is used), as well 

as other materials describing the project.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 23, 2022 / Notices 10243 

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: 

Generic Clearance for cognitive, pilot 

and field studies for Bureau of Justice 

Statistics data collection activities. 

(3) The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

Form numbers not available for generic 

clearance. The applicable component 

within the Department of Justice is the 

Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office 

of Justice Programs. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Administrators or staff of state 

and local agencies or programs in the 

relevant fields; administrators or staff of 

non-government agencies or programs 

in the relevant fields; individuals; 

policymakers at various levels of 

government. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: We estimate that 

approximately 30,000 respondents will 

be involved in exploratory, field test, 

pilot, cognitive, and focus group work 

conducted under this clearance over the 

requested 3-year clearance period. The 

average response time per respondent 

will be specific to each project covered 

under the clearance. Specific estimates 

of the number of respondents and the 

average response time are not known for 

each pilot study or development project 

covered under a generic clearance at 

this time. Project specific estimates will 

be submitted to OMB separately for each 

project conducted under this clearance. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total respondent burden 

for identified and future projects 

covered under this generic clearance 

over the 3-year clearance period is 

approximately 20,000 hours. BJS 

originally estimated that the total 

respondent burden for the projects 

would be about 20,000 hours.

49l–2, as amended by sec. 308 of the 

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity 

Act of 2014 (WIOA), Public Law 113–

through the Commissioner of Labor 

Statistics and the Assistant Secretary for 

Employment and Training, to formally
