SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Pretrial Services Agency for the 

District of Columbia 2013 Judicial 

Survey. 

Abstract: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3520), federal agencies must 

obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they collect or 

sponsor. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

PRA (944 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires 

federal agencies to provide a 60-day 

notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension of an existing collection of 

information, before submitting the 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, PSA is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

The proposed information collection 

activity provides a means to garner 

qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner, 

in accordance with the Administration’s 

commitment to improving service 

delivery. This feedback will provide 

insights into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences and 

expectations, provide an early warning 

of issues with service, or focus attention 

on areas where communication, training 

or changes in operations might improve 

delivery of products or services. These 

collections will allow for ongoing, 

collaborative and actionable 

communications between the Agency 

and its customers and stakeholders. It 

will also allow feedback to contribute 

directly to the improvement of program 

management. 

The judicial officers at the District of 

Columbia Superior and District Courts 

are one of PSA’s critical customers. The 

Agency’s mission statement notes that 

‘‘assistance to the courts’’ is critical to 

promoting pretrial justice and 

community safety. The proposed survey 

will assess judicial satisfaction with 

PSA’s responsiveness, staff 

professionalism, the quality and benefit 

of PSA reports, PSA’s supervision of 

higher risk defendants (including those 

with mental health and substance 

dependence issues), and the provision 

of treatment services. The judicial 

survey will represent the only 

qualitative or quantitative measure of 

this important metric. PSA will use the 

collected information to support several 

organizational improvements including: 

Enhancements to PSA’s supervision of 

medium to higher-risk pretrial 

defendants; improve communications 

with the Court regarding defendant 

compliance and noncompliance with 

supervision requirements; provide 

better performance ratings of Senior 

Executive Services staff; and creation of 

a qualitative performance measure to 

gauge overall judicial satisfaction under 

PSA’s ‘‘partnerships’’ strategic objective. 

This type of collection for qualitative 

information will be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliable actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

This evaluation study addresses 

PSA’s need for a report to inform 

strategic planning for dissemination and 

program activities to targeted 60 DC 

Superior Court and District Court 

judicial officers as survey participants— 

the universe of judicial officers hearing 

criminal matters in both courts and 

those with bail setting duties. 

The survey is intended to assess 

judicial officers’ perceptions and 

attitudes through a structured survey to 

measure judicial perceptions and 

attitudes about specific elements of 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 78 / Tuesday, April 23, 2013 / Notices 23919 

Agency performance. Given the 

qualitative nature of these data, PSA 

will use a customer satisfaction rank 

order response of customer satisfaction 

questionnaire format for its survey. 

These customer satisfaction 

questionnaires are a proven method to 

solicit and record critical input from 

primary customers and partner agencies 

for PSA to address customer-related 

issues more competently and resolve 

issues more quickly. 

The outcome will best provide a 

detailed analysis of customer feedback 

and may also provide ‘‘customer 

intelligence’’ that can be used as a 

roadmap to spur innovation efforts, 

research and development and new 

programs and initiatives. The outcome 

will also include a recommendation for 

strategic planning for future efforts 

which will engage and develop 

information and programming for DC 

judicial official audience. Survey results 

will not be published independently, 

but will be part of PSA’s Performance 

Budget submitted to the United States 

Congress every February and used as a 

metric for performance appraisals for 

Senior Executive Staff, submitted in 

September of each year. 

Method of Collection 

This survey will be conducted by PSA 

through its Office of Strategic 

Development. To achieve the goals that 

PSA hopes to obtain through its judicial 

survey, the following data collections 

will be implemented: 

(1) On-line instrument: All responses 

to the survey will be solicited, collected 

and recorded via a web-based survey 

instrument. This method will increase 

participants’ ease in completing the 

survey and returning results to PSA. 

Automatically-logged results also ensure 

greater quality control of entered data 

and easier recording and analysis of 

results. 

(2) Rank-ordered responses: Most 

survey questions ask respondents to 

rank-order responses on a standard fiveitem Likert-scale, for example, ‘‘Very 

Dissatisfied’’ to ‘‘Very Satisfied.’’ The 

remaining questions are value neutral 

and open ended and allow respondents 

to give opinions on how PSA can 

improve specific functions. 

(3) Limited question set: The survey 

consists of 15 questions, making it 

relatively easy to understand, navigate 

and complete. 

(4) Anonymity: Survey results are 

anonymous, although respondents have 

the choice to identify themselves. 

Since the survey targets all judicial 

officers that have direct exposure and 

knowledge of PSA services and 

supervision, there are no anticipated 

issues with sample selection, 

stratification or estimation procedures. 

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden 

Exhibit 1 shows the estimated 

annualized burden hours for the 

respondents’ time to participate in this 

research. The judicial surveys will be 

conducted with 60 judicial officers and 

will take approximately 10–15 minutes 

to complete. The total burden is 

estimated to be 15 hours. Exhibit 2 

shows the estimated annualized cost 

burden associated with the respondents’ 

time to participate in this research. The 

total cost burden is estimated to be 

$1,200 annually. Exhibit 3 shows the 

total and annualized cost to the federal 

government for conducting this 

research. The total cost to the federal 

government is $150.00. The total 

annualized cost is estimated to be 

approximately $150.00. The total annual 

cost includes the questionnaire 

development, administration, analysis, 

and study management.

Notice of Extension of Public 

Comment Period for the Notice of 

Intent To Prepare the Commonwealth 

of the Northern Mariana Islands Joint 

Military Training Environmental Impact 

Statement/Overseas Environmental 

Impact Statement 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Marine Corps Forces, Pacific 

(MARFORPAC), as the Executive Agent 

designated by the United States (U.S.) 

Pacific Command (PACOM), is 

extending the public scoping comment 

period for the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Joint 

Military Training Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS)/Overseas EIS (OEIS) 

until May 13, 2013. A Notice of Intent 

(NOI) was published in the Federal 

Register on Thursday, March 14, 2013 

(Vol. 78, No. 50, Pages 16257–16259). 

The Notice announced the initial public 

scoping comment period, including 

three public scoping meetings that took 

place on Wednesday, April 10, 2013; 

Thursday, April 11, 2013 and Friday, 

April 12, 2013. The public scoping 

meetings provided an opportunity for 

the public to obtain additional 

information and provide comments on 

the proposed action. The NOI requested 

the submission of all public scoping 

comments to MARFORPAC by April 29, 

2013 Chamorro Standard Time (ChST). 

With this Notice, MARFORPAC is 

extending the public scoping comment 

period until May 13, 2013 (ChST). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please visit the project Web site or 

contact the CNMI Joint Military 

Training EIS/OEIS Project Manager by 

telephone at 808–472–1253 or by email 

via the project Web site 

(www.cnmijointmilitarytrainingeis.com). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section (102)(2)(c) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as implemented by the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations (40 

Code of Federal Regulations parts 1500– 

1508), and Executive Order 12114, and 

United States Marine Corps NEPA 

implementing regulations in Marine 

Corps Order P5090.2A, MARFORPAC, 

as the Executive Agent designated by 

PACOM, announces its intent to prepare 

an EIS/OEIS to evaluate the potential 

impacts associated with preliminary 

alternatives for meeting PACOM Service 

Components’ unfilled unit level and 

combined level military training 

requirements in the Western Pacific. 

The proposed action is to establish a 

series of live-fire and maneuver Ranges 

and Training Areas (RTAs) within the 

CNMI to meet this purpose. 

Existing Department of Defense RTAs 

and support facilities in the Western 

Pacific, particularly those in the 

Mariana Islands, are insufficient to 

support PACOM Service Components’ 

U.S. Code (U.S.C.) Title 10 training 

requirements for the region. The 

expansion of existing RTAs and 

construction of new RTAs will satisfy 

identified training deficiencies for 

PACOM forces that are based in or 

regularly train in the Mariana Islands. 

These RTAs will be available to U.S. 

forces and their allies on a continuous 

and uninterrupted schedule. These 

RTAs are needed to support ongoing 

operational requirements, changes to 

U.S. force structure and geographic 

positioning of forces, and U.S. training 

relationships with allied nations. 

MARFORPAC, as the Executive 

Agent, has invited the Federal Aviation 

Administration; International 

Broadcasting Bureau; U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers; National Marine Fisheries 

Service; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 

and U.S. Department of Interior, Office 

of Insular Affairs, to participate as 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the EIS/OEIS. MARFORPAC has also 

developed a Memorandum of 

Understanding with the military 

services regarding their support and 

engagement in the development of the 

EIS/OEIS. 

More information on the proposed 

action can be found on the previously 

published NOI (see Federal Register on 

March 14, 2013 (Vol. 78, No. 50, Pages 

16257–16259)). Federal, State, and local 

agencies, elected officials, and other 

interested parties and individuals, are 

invited and encouraged to review and 

comment on proposed action. 

Comments on the proposed action can 

be submitted via the project Web site 

(www.cnmijointmilitarytrainingeis.com)
