Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

National Corrections Reporting Program. 

The collection includes the forms: 

Prisoner Admission Report, Prisoner 

Release Report, Parole Release Report, 

Prisoner in Custody at Year-end. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Justice sponsoring the 

collection: Form number(s): NCRP–1A, 

NCRP–1B, NCRP–1C, and NCRP–1D. 

Corrections Statistics Unit, Bureau of 

Justice Statistics, Office of Justice 

Programs, United States Department of 

Justice. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: The National Corrections 

Reporting Program (NCRP) is the only 

national data collection furnishing 

annual individual-level information for 

State prisoners admitted or released 

during the year, those in custody at 

year-end, and persons discharged from 

parole supervision. The NCRP collects 

data on sentencing, time served in 

prison and on parole, offense, 

admission/release type, and 

demographic information. BJS, the 

Congress, researchers, and criminal 

justice practitioners use these data to 

describe annual movements of adult 

offenders through State correctional 

systems. Providers of the data are 

personnel in the State Departments of 

Corrections and Parole. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: BJS anticipates 51 respondents 

for report year 2009 with a total annual 

burden of 2,254 hours. For each type of 

information previously provided, 

respondents will require an average of 8 

hours to provide information on 

prisoner admissions and releases, 8 

hours to provide information on parole 

releases, and 8 hours to provide 

information on the year-end custody 

prisoner population. This includes time 

for modifying and re-running previously 

written computer programs, preparing 

input data, and documenting the record 

layout. For each type of information 

being supplied for the first time, each 

respondent will require an average of 24 

hours to provide information on 

prisoner admissions and releases, 24 

hours to provide information on parole 

releases, and 24 hours to provide 

information on the year-end custody 

prisoner population. This includes time 

for developing, testing, and running 

new computer programs, preparing 

input data, and documenting the record 

layout. Each respondent will require an 

additional 2 hours documenting or 

explaining the data for a total of 2,254 

burden hours. Magnetic media or other 

electronic formats are expected from all 

51 respondents. The total annual burden 

is expected to decrease for 2010 and 

beyond, when computer programs 

written to provide data for 2009 for the 

first time, are rerun. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated 2,254 

total burden hours associated with this 

collection.
