Overview of This Information
(1) Type of information collection:
New data collection, Survey of State
Court Criminal Appeals (SSCCA), 2010.
(2) The title of the form/collection:
Survey of State Court Criminal Appeals
or SSCCA, 2010.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are SSCCA–IAC and
SSCCA–COLR, Bureau of Justice
Statistics, Office of Justice Programs,
U.S. Department of Justice.
(4) Affected Public Who Will Be Asked
or Required to Respond, as well as a
Brief Abstract: State intermediate
appellate courts and state courts of last
resort. Abstract: The 2010 SSCCA will
focus on criminal cases disposed in a
national sample of state intermediate
appellate courts and courts of last resort
and will aim to obtain information on
certain key case characteristics of these
appeals. Some of the information
collected will include the types of
criminal cases appealed to state
intermediate appellate courts and courts
of last resort, the legal issues raised on
appeal, the impact of the appellate
process on trial court outcomes, the
extent that appellate claims are decided
on the merits, and case processing time
for criminal appeals. The 2010 SSCCA
will also attempt to examine all death
penalty cases decided on appeal in 2010
as well as cases that were adjudicated in
both intermediate appellate courts and
courts of last resort. All data collected
will be accurate as of December 2010.
(5) An Estimate of the Total Number
of Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond: The Survey of State Court
Criminal Appeals (SSCCA) will collect
data on a national sample of
approximately 5,000 criminal appeals
concluded in all of the nation’s 143
intermediate appellate courts and courts
of last resort in 2010. The burden hour
computation involves both sample list
generation and case level data
collection. Each of the nation’s 143
intermediate appellate courts and courts

of last resort will be asked to generate
a sample of all their direct criminal
appeals disposed in 2010 from which a
national sample can be drawn for the
SSCCA. It is estimated that it should
take 3 hours for each of the nation’s 143
appellate courts to generate an
appropriate sample list. The burden
hour component regarding case level
data collection involves copying the
necessary appellate court
documentation from three major sources
for submission to the data collection
agent including (1) The submitted legal
briefs, (2) the opinions produced by the
courts, and (3) the docketing
information. Assuming 35 appeals per
court (5,000 appeals/143 courts = 35
appeals) and 10 minutes to copy each
legal brief or opinion, the burden hours
to copy these paper documents for each
court should be about 6 hours for the
legal briefs and 6 hours for the opinions
(35 appeals * .17 hours per opinion/
brief = 6 hours). In addition to providing
copies of legal briefs and opinions, it is
estimated that each appellate court will
require 3 hours to provide the necessary
docketing information.
(6) An Estimate of the Total Public
Burden (in hours) Associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 1,224
hours. The burden hour computation is
calculated by identifying those appellate
courts that have limited online
accessibility necessitating the
submission of legal briefs, docketing
materials, or court opinions for coding
by the data collection agent. No burden
hours are associated with collecting data
from appellate courts with complete
internet accessibility because all their
data can be obtained online. It is
estimated that a total of 795 hours will
be needed for the appellate courts with
limited internet accessibility to provide
the documentation in the form of mailed
legal briefs/opinions or docket extracts
to complete the SSCCA data collection.
The 795 number is calculated by first
computing the total burden hours
appellate courts need to provide copies
of submitted legal briefs (90 courts * 6
hours per court to provide copies of
submitted legal briefs = 540 hours); and
secondly, by computing the total burden
hours for providing data extracts of
docketing information (57 courts * 3
hours per court to provide extracts of
docketing information = 171 hours); and
thirdly, by computing the total burden
hours for providing copies of court
opinions (14 courts * 6 hours per court
to provide copies of court opinions = 84
hours). Hence, 540 hours for providing
copies of submitted briefs + 171 hours
for providing data extracts of docketing

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 20 / Monday, January 31, 2011 / Notices
information + 84 hours for providing
copies of court opinions = 795 hours.
When the burden hours for sample list
generation are added, the total burden
hours for the SSCCA project sums to
1,224 hours (795 hours to provide
necessary case documentation + 429
hours for sample list generation = 1,224
hours).

(5) An Estimate of the Total Number of Respondents and the Amount
of Time Estimated for an Average Respondent to Respond: The Survey of
State Court Criminal Appeals (SSCCA) will collect data on a national
sample of approximately 5,000 criminal appeals concluded in all of the
nation's 143 intermediate appellate courts and courts of last resort in
2010. The burden hour computation involves both sample list generation
and case level data collection. Each of the nation's 143 intermediate
appellate courts and courts of last resort will be asked to generate a
sample of all their direct criminal appeals disposed in 2010 from which
a national sample can be drawn for the SSCCA. It is estimated that it

regarding case level data collection involves copying the necessary
appellate court documentation from three major sources for submission
to the data collection agent including (1) The submitted legal briefs,
(2) the opinions produced by the courts, and (3) the docketing
information. Assuming 35 appeals per court (5,000 appeals/143 courts =
35 appeals) and 10 minutes to copy each legal brief or opinion, the
burden hours to copy these paper documents for each court should be
about 6 hours for the legal briefs and 6 hours for the opinions (35
appeals * .17 hours per opinion/brief = 6 hours). In addition to
providing copies of legal briefs and opinions, it is estimated that
each appellate court will require 3 hours to provide the necessary
docketing information.
(6) An Estimate of the Total Public Burden (in hours) Associated

collection is 1,224 hours. The burden hour computation is calculated by
identifying those appellate courts that have limited online

No burden hours are associated with collecting data from appellate

be obtained online. It is estimated that a total of 795 hours will be
needed for the appellate courts with limited internet accessibility to
provide the documentation in the form of mailed legal briefs/opinions
or docket extracts to complete the SSCCA data collection. The 795
number is calculated by first computing the total burden hours
appellate courts need to provide copies of submitted legal briefs (90
courts * 6 hours per court to provide copies of submitted legal briefs
= 540 hours); and secondly, by computing the total burden hours for
providing data extracts of docketing information (57 courts * 3 hours
per court to provide extracts of docketing information = 171 hours);
and thirdly, by computing the total burden hours for providing copies
of court opinions (14 courts * 6 hours per court to provide copies of
court opinions = 84 hours). Hence, 540 hours for providing copies of
submitted briefs + 171 hours for providing data extracts of docketing
[[Page 5402]]
information + 84 hours for providing copies of court opinions = 795
hours. When the burden hours for sample list generation are added, the

to provide necessary case documentation + 429 hours for sample list
generation = 1,224 hours).
