information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

Below we provide the Department of 

Justice’s projected average estimates for 

the next three years: 

Current Action: Extension. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

Activities: 42. 

Average Number of Respondents per 

Activity: 51,500. 

Annual Responses: 309,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average Minutes per Response: 30 

min. 

Burden Hours: 99,847. 

Federal Government Cost: $176,925. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number.

the monitoring process, SWAs submit a 

quarterly progress report (QPR), which 

notes the SWA’s status of completing 

the STC grant activities. For additional

Federal Register on December 13, 2021

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Social

authorizes this information collection. 

The ETA 191 report submitted quarterly

quarterly charges and submit one 

official bill to each Federal agency being 

charged. Federal agencies then 

reimburse the Federal Employees 

Compensation Account maintained by 

the U.S. Department of the Treasury. For
