SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of
this meeting is required under section
10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. The Committee is
chartered by the Attorney General, and
co-chaired by the Attorney General and
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (the Secretary), to provide the
Attorney General and the Secretary with
practical and general policy advice
concerning implementation of the
Violence Against Women Act of 1994,
the Violence Against Women Act of
2000, and related laws. The Committee
also assists in the efforts of the
Department of Justice and the
Department of Health and Human
Services to combat violence against
women, especially domestic violence,
sexual assault, and stalking. Because
violence against women is increasingly
recognized as a public health problem of
staggering human cost, the Committee
brings national attention to the problem
to increase public awareness of the need
for prevention and enhanced victim
services.
This meeting will primarily focus on
the Committee’s work and the Federal
Government’s response to violence
against women; there will, however, be
an opportunity for public comment on
the Committee’s role in providing
general policy guidance on
implementation of the Violence Against
Women Act of 1994, the Violence
Against Women Act of 2000, and related
laws.

Activities Proposed Collection;
Comments Requested
60-Day Notice of Information
Collection Under Review: New
collection Census of Jail Facilities.
ACTION:
The Department of Justice (DOJ),
Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of
Justice Statistics, has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed
information collected is published to
obtain comments from the public and
affected agencies. Comments are
encouraged and will be accepted for
‘‘sixty days’’ until January 13, 2006.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.10.
If you have comments, especially the
estimated public burden or associated
response time, suggestions, or need a
copy of the proposed information
collection instrument with instructions
or additional information, please
contact James Stephan, Statistician (202)
616–3289, Bureau of Justice Statistics,
Office of Justice Programs, U.S.
Department of Justice, 810 Seventh
Street NW., Washington, DC 20531.
Requests for 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 agency, 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; 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:
E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM
14NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 218 / Monday, November 14, 2005 / Notices
(1) Type of information collection:
New collection.
(2) The title of the Form/Collection:
Census of Jail Facilities, 2006.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Form Number: CJ–3F. Bureau
of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice
Programs, United States Department of
Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
to respond, as well as a brief abstract:
Primary: County and City jail
authorities. Secondary: Federal
authorities and private correctional
facility operators. The Census of Jail
Facilities, together with the Census of
Jail Inmates, is the foundation for all
national statistics on local jails and
inmates. These censuses provide the
frames from which to generalize to the
nation and to track changes over time.
Without periodic censuses, sample
surveys would be unreliable, and
statistics would be based on a group of
jails of unknown representativeness,
that were simply convenient to contact
and willing to respond. These censuses
provide a benchmark against which
jurisdictions may compare their
correctional populations.
Administrators use their data to
evaluate staffing and budget needs
relative to similarly situated jail
jurisdictions. Practitioners, policy
makers, and researchers are able to test
assertions and conclusions about the
causes and consequences of current
sentencing release policies. Finally, the
censuses present raw material for
discussion and evaluation of
correctional policies and practices
throughout the nation, in some States
providing the only sources of objective
descriptions of the operation of local
jails.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: Three thousand eighty-four
respondents each taking an average of
120 minutes to respond.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 6,168
annual total burden hours associated
with the collection.
