including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
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,

The form labels are SSCCA—IAC and
SSCCA—COLR, 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: 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 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
information + 84 hours for providing
copies of court opinions = 795 hours.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:47 Apr 01, 2011
Jkt 223001
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).

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, United States 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
[[Page 18582]]
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 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
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).
