Overview of This Information 

Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

New collection. 

2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Data to Support National 

Institute of Justice Research and 

Assessment. 

3. The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

Not applicable (new collection). 

4. Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Administrators or staff of state and local 

agencies or programs in the relevant 

fields; administrators or staff of nongovernment agencies or programs in the 

relevant fields; individuals; 

policymakers at various levels of 

government. 

Abstract: The National Institute of 

Justice (NIJ) is requesting a generic 

clearance for the purpose of conducting 

qualitative research and assessment. 

NIJ’s mission is to advance scientific 

research, development, and evaluation 

to enhance the administration of justice 

and public safety. The proposed 

information collection activities will 

enable NIJ to better understand 

emerging crime and justice issues 

pertinent to its research mission, inform 

the development of intramural and 

extramural research projects, and ensure 

relevant information is available for use 

in the planning, management, and 

assessment of NIJ research portfolios. 

NIJ anticipates using a variety of 

techniques including, but not limited to, 

individual in-depth interviews, semistructured small group discussions, 

focus groups, and questionnaires to 

reach these goals. 

NIJ will only submit a collection for 

approval under this generic clearance if 

the collections are voluntary; the 

collections are low burden for 

respondents and are low- or no-cost for 

both the respondents and the Federal 

Government; the collections are 

noncontroversial; personally 

identifiable information is collected 

only to the extent necessary and is not 

retained; information gathered will not 

be used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and information gathered will yield 

qualitative information. 

Following standard Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

requirements, NIJ will submit an 

individual request to OMB for every 

group of data collection activities 

undertaken under this generic 

clearance. NIJ will provide OMB with a 

copy of the individual instruments or 

questionnaires (if one is used), as well 

as other materials describing the project. 

Currently, NIJ anticipates the need to 

conduct qualitative research that will 

include the collection of information 

from law enforcement agencies, jails, 

prisons, and the state agencies, local 

governments, and nonprofit 

organizations. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: It is estimated that 

approximately 2,500 respondents will 

be involved in the anticipated 

qualitative research over the 3-year 

clearance period. Specific estimates for 

the average response time are not 

known for the work covered under a 

generic clearance, however, an estimate 

of overall burden is included in item 6 

below. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated public burden 

for identified and future projects 

covered under this generic clearance 

over the 3-year clearance period is 

approximately 3,000 hours.

Director, United States Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA) is leading an 

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle noise 

cooperative human response study 

involving multiple testing locations, 

other US government agencies, 

academia, and industry. Overarching 

study goals are: 

1. Obtain a wide range of UAM 

vehicle sounds for use in human 

response studies. 

2. Provide insights into human 

response of UAM vehicle noise that will 

collectively be challenging for any 

single agency or organization to acquire. 

3. Create an open database of human 

response to UAM vehicle noise to 

support follow-on studies. 

The UAM vehicle noise cooperative 

human response study is currently 

divided into two phases: a Feasibility 

Phase (Phase 1) and Phase 2. Each phase 

executes one or more psychoacoustic 

tests. Phase 1 seeks to demonstrate and 

refine the test methodology that will be 

used in Phase 2. Since UAM vehicle 

noise may be challenging to acquire as 

stimuli, the Phase 1 psychoacoustic test 

will use other types of aircraft noise as 

stimuli. Phase 2 will focus on capturing 

human response to UAM vehicle noise 

stimuli. 

This information collection is for the 

Phase 1 psychoacoustic test. A remote 

psychoacoustic testing platform will 

allow recruited test subjects to listen to 

NASA-provided test sound stimuli over 

the internet using their own computers 

and headphones and register their 

annoyance rating for each.

The outcome of the Phase 1 

psychoacoustic test is a demonstrated 

capability for ranking of sound stimuli 

by annoyance ratings from remote test 

subjects. 

II. Methods of Collection 

Test subjects will electronically 

indicate their annoyance rating to test 

stimuli into an interface displayed on 

their own computers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Supersonic passenger flight over land 

is currently restricted in the U.S. and 

many countries because sonic booms 

have been known to disturb people on 

the ground. There is a potential for a 

change in federal and international 

regulations if supersonic flight can 

occur at acceptably low noise levels. 

NASA is preparing a series of 

Community Response Surveys coupled 

with research flights to gather data on 

the public acceptability of low noise 

supersonic flight. 

Prior to the Community Response 

Surveys, NASA will conduct a check of 

the overall survey process without 

accompanying flights (Community 

Response Survey Preparation). This is 

necessary to minimize the risk of 

problems or errors with the actual 

Community Response Surveys, which 

will involve coordinating efforts with 

preparing and scheduling flights of the 

X–59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology 

aircraft. 

NASA has supported two prior field 

tests to evaluate data collection methods 

for community response to low noise 

supersonic flight; one test was at 

Edwards Air Force Base, California in 

2011 and the second was the Quiet 

Supersonic Flights 2018 (QSF18) study 

in Galveston, Texas. The findings from 

these prior tests were not intended for 

gathering data supporting regulatory 

changes but to provide lessons learned 

in the survey methodology that will be 

employed in this study. 

After the Community Response 

Survey Preparation, NASA plans to 

conduct up to five Community 

Response Surveys in different areas of 

the contiguous U.S. Each Community 

Response Survey will have a maximum 

of 113 responses (‘‘activities’’) per 

respondent, spread across a 30-day 

period. Some responses are collected up 

to six times per day, while other 

responses are collected once per day. 

II. Methods of Collection 

Participants from the public will 

receive mailings prompting them to 

complete a web survey that will be 

available through a direct URL and 

through a custom app that they will 

have the option of downloading to their 

phone or mobile device.
