abstract: Primary: State, Local, or Tribal 

Government correctional facilities. 

Other: Federal Government and 

businesses (privately operated 

correctional institutions, both for-profit

used to develop national estimates of 

the incidence and prevalence of sexual 

assault within correctional facilities, as 

well as characteristics of substantiated 

incidents, as required under the Prison 

Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 

108–79).

operated facilities (1,479 respondents) 

will each take an estimated 30 minutes 

to complete the summary form; and 

incident forms (an estimated 3,000 

incident forms will be completed each 

year, one for each incident that was 

substantiated) will take about 30 

minutes per form. The burden estimates 

are based on data from the prior 

administration of the SSV. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There is an estimated 2,342 

total burden hours per year associated

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

Extension of currently approved 

collection. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Death in Custody Reporting Act 

Collection. 

3. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

Form number (if applicable): DCR–1 

Quarterly Summary. This summary 

form requires States to either (1) identify 

all reportable deaths that occurred in 

their jurisdiction during the 

corresponding quarter and provide basic 

information about the circumstances of 

the death, or (2) affirm that no 

reportable death occurred in the State 

during the reporting period. 

For each quarter in a fiscal year, a 

State must complete the Quarterly 

Summary (Form DCR–1) and submit it 

by the reporting deadline. The Quarterly 

Summary is a list of all reportable 

deaths that occurred in the State during 

the corresponding quarter with basic 

information about the circumstances of 

each death. If a State did not have a 

reportable death during the quarter, the 

State must so indicate on the Quarterly 

Summary. The reporting deadline to 

submit the Quarterly Summary is the 

last day of the month following the 

close of the quarter. For each quarter, 

BJA will send two reminders prior to 

the reporting deadline. 

Example. The second quarter of a 

fiscal year is January 1–March 31. The 

deadline to submit the second quarter 

Quarterly Summary is April 30. BJA 

will send a reminder to States on March 

31 and April 15. 

Component: Bureau Justice 

Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice. 

Form number (if applicable): DCR–1A 

Incident Report. This incident report 

form requires States to provide 

additional information for each 

reportable death identified in the 

Quarterly Summary that occurred 

during interactions with law 

enforcement personnel or while in their 

custody. 

For each reportable death identified 

in the Quarterly Summary, a State must 

complete and submit by the same 

reporting deadline an Incident Report 

(Form DCR–1A), which contains 

specific information on the 

circumstances of the death and 

additional characteristics of the 

decedent. These include: 

• The decedent’s name, year of birth, 

gender, race, and ethnicity. 

• The date, time, and location of the 

death. 

• The law enforcement or 

correctional agency involved. 

• Description of the manner of death. 

States must answer all questions on 

the Incident Report before they can 

submit the form. If the State does not 

have sufficient information to complete 

one of the questions, then the State may 

select the ‘‘unknown’’ answer, if 

available, and then identify when the 

information is anticipated to be 

obtained.
