BILLING CODE 4410–FY–P 

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Notice of Lodging of Proposed 

Consent Judgment Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act 

On April 12, 2022, the Department of 

Justice lodged a proposed Consent 

Judgment with the United States District 

Court for the Eastern District of New 

York in a lawsuit entitled United States 

v. Northrop Grumman Systems 

Corporation et al., Civil Action No. 22– 

cv–02101. 

In this action, the United States seeks, 

as provided under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(‘‘CERCLA’’), recovery of response costs 

from Northrop Grumman Systems 

Corporation and Northrop Grumman 

Corporation (collectively ‘‘Grumman’’) 

related to its historical operations at the 

Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve 

Plant, Bethpage, New York, and 

adjacent former facilities owned and 

operated by Grumman’s predecessors 

(‘‘the Sites’’). The proposed Consent 

Judgment resolves the United States’ 

claims against Grumman for the United 

States’ response costs, and related 

contribution claims, at the Sites. 

Under the proposed Consent 

Judgment, the United States will receive 

$35,000,000 from Grumman. Of the 

settlement proceeds, $17,500,000 will 

go to the Department of the Navy’s 

Environmental Restoration account, and 

$17,500,000 will go to the United States 

Treasury. 

The settlement (Section IX) provides, 

in exchange for the above payments, the 

United States releases and covenants 

not to sue or to take administrative 

action against Grumman with respect to 

claims arising from or relating to the 

Sites or the related groundwater 

contamination, including claims for 

response costs and contribution under 

CERCLA or other laws. Further, under 

Section XI, Grumman releases, and 

covenants not to sue the United States 

with respect to claims arising from or 

relating to the Sites or related 

groundwater contamination, including 

claims for response costs and 

contribution under CERCLA or other 

laws. The Consent Judgment more fully 

describes these covenants, and Section 

X identifies certain exceptions to each 

of the above-referenced covenants. 

Under the Consent Judgment, the 

parties will each continue with their 

respective response actions and 

commitments to take response actions to 

address the Sites, as described in 

Section VII of the Consent Judgment. 

Further, the Parties will coordinate and 

cooperate with each other in 

implementing their respective response 

actions to address the Sites, as described 

in Section VII. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed Consent Judgment. Comments 

should be addressed to the Assistant 

Attorney General, Environment and 

Natural Resources Division, and should

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written 

comments and suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies 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: 

Reinstatement, with change, of a 

previously approved collection. A new 

OMB number is needed, as this 

collection was previously under 1121– 

0311 with the collection of prison data. 

They are now two separate collections. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

National Inmate Survey in Jails (NIS– 

4J). 

3. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

There is no agency form number at this 

time. 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: Respondents will primarily be 

State or Local Government entities. The 

work under this clearance will be used 

to produce estimates for the incidence 

and prevalence of sexual victimization 

within correctional facilities as required 

under the Prison Rape Elimination Act 

of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–79). The Bureau of 

Justice Statistics uses this information 

in published reports and for the U.S. 

Congress, Executive Office of the 

President, practitioners, researchers, 

students, the media, and others 

interested in criminal justice statistics. 

In 2003, the Prison Rape Elimination 

Act (PREA or the Act) was signed into 

law. The Act requires BJS to ‘‘carry out, 

for each calendar year, a comprehensive 

statistical review and analysis of the 

incidence and effects of prison rape.’’ 

The Act further instructs BJS to collect 

survey data: ‘‘. . . the Bureau shall . . . 

use surveys and other statistical studies 

of current and former inmates . . .’’ 

To implement the Act, BJS developed 

the National Prison Rape Statistics 

Program (NPRS), which includes four 

separate data collection efforts: The 

Survey on Sexual Violence (SSV), the 

National Inmate Survey (NIS), the 

National Survey of Youth in Custody 

(NSYC), and the National Former 

Prisoner Survey (NFPS). The NIS 

collects information on sexual 

victimization self-reported by inmates 

held in adult correctional facilities, both 

prisons and jails. The NIS has been 

conducted three times, in 2007 (NIS–1), 

in 2008–09 (NIS–2), and in 2011–12 

(NIS–3). Each iteration of NIS was 

conducted in at least one facility in all 

50 states and the District of Columbia. 

In each iteration of the survey, inmates 

completed the survey using an audio 

computer-assisted self-interview 

(ACASI), whereby they heard questions 

and instructions via headphones and 

responded to the survey items via a 

touch-screen interface. 

The collection requested in this notice 

is the fourth iteration of the National 

Inmate Survey. For NIS–4, 

administration of the survey in prisons 

will take place separately from survey 

administration in jails. This collection 

request is specific to conducting the 

survey in adult jail facilities. 

The survey instrument for the NIS–4 

in Jails is slightly modified from the 

previous iterations. The main difference 

is the addition of a new set of incidentspecific questions administered to 

respondents who affirmatively indicate 

they were sexually victimized at some 

point in the previous 12 months while 

housed in their current jail facility. 

These incident-specific questions will 

provide information to the public on the 

nature of sexual victimization in jails, 

such as where incidents occurred 

within the facility, the relationship 

between the victim and the alleged 

perpetrator(s), and whether the victim 

suffered any injuries as a result of the 

incident, among other incident 

characteristics. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: Prior to data collection 

commencing in 2023, BJS will 

coordinate the logistics of NIS–4 survey 

administration with staff at state, local, 

and tribal correction facilities. Because 

the administration of this survey in 

prisons is not included in this request, 

the overall number of burden hours is 

lower than in the last request approved 

in 2010. It is estimated that 290 facility 

administrators will devote 150 minutes 

of time to this coordination effort. 

During data collection in 2023, jail staff 

will escort an estimated 65,360 jail 

inmates to/from the interviews, which 

consists of a short consent 

administration and an approximately 

35-minute survey. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: This collection was 

previously approved for implementation 

in both adult prisons and jails. The 

current request will only be 

implemented in adult jails, thereby 

reducing the total number of facility 

staff and respondents required to 

participate. The total estimated NIS–4 

Jails public burden, inclusive of facility 

staff and respondent burden estimates, 

is 64,010 hours. This comprises 17,065 

hours of facility staff burden and 46,945 

hours of respondent interviewing 

burden. This burden estimate assumes 

100% participation from both facilities 

and inmates, but historically both 

facility and inmate participation have 

not reached 100%. For purposes of 

comparison, during Year 3 of the NIS, 

the total maximum burden was 

estimated at 45,034 hours for the jail 

sample. The total burden actually used 

was 29,943 hours.
