needs of professionals working in the
juvenile justice field. The needs
assessment will capture information
regarding the topics of interest to the
field, the level of need for information
about the topic, the types of training and
technical assistance of interest around a
topic, and the specific challenges that
the field is facing in their work. The
needs assessment utilizes an on-line
format and incorporated skip patterns to
ensure that each completion is tailored
to the needs of the respondent and
reduces the burden of time to complete
the instrument. The information will be
used to improve services and plan for
future training and technical assistance
efforts in a fiscally responsible manner
that can provide the greatest benefit and
impact.
(5) An Estimate of the Total Number
of Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond/Reply: It is expected that
invitations for completion will be sent
to approximately 6,000 respondents
with a 60% response rate. This would
indicate approximately 3,600
respondents who will require an average
of 20 minutes to complete the needs
assessment.
(5) An Estimate of the Total Public
Burden (In Hours) Associated with the
Collection:
The total annual public burden hours
for this information collection is
estimated to be 1200 hours.

The Urban Institute has been funded by
the NIJ to examine the collection and
use of juvenile DNA. We will establish
the state-specific policies and practices
through interviews with state lab
personnel and non-identifiable
summary data on the number of
juveniles included in SDIS and the DNA
crime matches attributed to that
population. This data can then be used
to assess the value of juvenile DNA
records from the practitioner
perspective and inform DNA policy
decisions at the local, state, and Federal
level.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: Interviews will occur with one
state crime lab director and CODIS
administrator in each state, for a total of
70 estimated respondents. Telephone
interviews are expected to take 1 hour
each (35 respondents). Summary
statistic collection is expected to take 3
hours (35 respondents); 1 hour for
discussion with us, 1.5 hours for the
actually data pull, and .5 hours to
format and transmit the summary
statistics.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated burden
hours to complete both interviews and
data collection is 140 hours.
