(2) 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;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) 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:
(1) Type of information collection:
Extension of currently approved
collection.
(2) The title of the form/collection:
Project Safe Neighborhood Semi-Annual
Researcher Reporting Form.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
Bureau of Justice Assistance, 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: State and local law
enforcement agencies.
Other: None.
Abstract: One of the central elements
of PSN is the requirement that PSN task
forces collect data on outcome measures
related to the level of firearms violence
in each judicial district and information
on the strategies used to combat that
gun violence. This information is
essential if we are strategically to target
our financial resources for maximum
impact, and is a necessary element in
assessing success or failure and
providing the information required to
make mid-course corrections in our
local programs.
To accomplish the data collection at
the local level, the Bureau of Justice
Assistance has funded a research
partner to work with each of the 94
districts.1 The grant program provided
$150,000 to a researcher in each district
to be spent over three years. The data
collected by these researchers has
allowed for program assessment at the
local level, but also has provided the
opportunity to gauge the results of the
initiative across the country.
Understanding the gun violence
problem throughout the country will
allow the Department to identify trends
1 While
there are 94 judicial districts, there are
only 93 United States Attorneys and accordingly 93
research partners. The Northern Mariana Islands
and Guam share one research partner.

and adapt the program at a national
level to meet the needs of the districts.
Additionally, by collecting both
outcome and intervention measures, the
Department can identify programs that
demonstrate success in reducing
targeted gun crime. This information is
essential to evaluating the program and
providing feedback at the national level
that can inform management decisions.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that no
more than 93 respondents will apply
twice a year. Each application takes
approximately 60 minutes to complete.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total hour burden to
complete the applications is 186. (93
respondents × 1 hour per respondent ×
2 responses per year = 186 burden
hours) If additional information is
required, contact: Ms. Lynn Bryant,
Clearance Officer, U.S. Department of
Justice, Policy and Planning Staff,
Justice Management Division, 601 D
Street, NW., Suite 1600, Washington,
DC, 20530, or via facsimile at (202) 514–
1534.
