• 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 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:
New data collection, Census of ProblemSolving Courts (CPSC), 2012.
2. The title of the form/collection:
Census of Problem-Solving Courts or
CPSC 2012.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are CPSC, 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: Problem-solving courts at all
levels of government. Abstract: The
Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)
proposes to implement a Census of
Problem-Solving Courts (CPSC).
Problem-solving courts target
defendants who have ongoing social
and/or psychological conditions that
underlie their repeated contact with the
criminal justice system. Most of the
existing information about problemsolving courts (PSC) consists of court
evaluations or outcome analyses. No
prior census of these courts has been
conducted to date despite the
substantial proliferation of such courts
during the past thirty years. Hence, the
CPSC will allow BJS to provide national
level information on problem-solving
courts and case processing statistics.
The CPSC is designed to provide BJS
and other interested stakeholders with
the first systematic empirical
information on problem-solving courts.
A goal of the census is to obtain
information on problem-solving court
operations, staffing, administration, and
to generate accurate and reliable
aggregate statistics on offenders who
enter problem-solving court programs.
Information will be collected for the
most recent 12-month period in 2012.

The CPSC will collect information on
the following categories:
a. Court Operations and Staffing
i. Provide the number of problem-solving
courts by type (e.g., mental health, drug,
etc.),
ii. Determine PSCs level of government
operations (e.g., local, state, etc.), court
jurisdiction (e.g., limited, general, other)
and intake of felony, misdemeanor, or
status offenses,
iii. Court session frequency,
iv. Number of full- and part-time staff
members currently employed by PSCs.
b. Funding: Types and prevalence of PSC
funding (e.g., local government budget,
state budget, etc.)
c. Commonly Used Services:
i. Count the types and prevalence of
offender/victim services (e.g., anger
management), counseling or treatment
services (e.g., outpatient mental health
treatment), and general supportive
services (e.g., life skills)
d. Participant participation
i. Participant inclusionary and
exclusionary factors,
ii. Participant point of entry (e.g. pre-plea,
post-plea/pre-sentence, etc.)
iii. Case closure: Benefits of successful
participation in PSC program (e.g., case
dismissal).
e. Capacity and Enrollment
i. Design Capacity: Total number of active
participants PSC can manage at any one
time,
ii. Current number of active participants.
f. Data Collection Practices:
i. Use of automated case management
systems,
ii. Ability to share case management
information with external agencies,
iii. PSCs’ ability to track participant
outcomes after graduation.
g. Selected PSC Aggregate Participant
information:
i. Number of offenders admitted for
participation in PSC over a 12 month
period,
ii. Number of offender participants exiting
program over a 12 month period,
including type of exit (e.g., successful
program completion),
iii. Percentage of participants by gender
over a 12 month period,
iv. Percentage of participants by race/
ethnicity over a 12 month period.
5. An Estimate of the Total Number of
Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond: Estimates suggest 3,800
respondents will take part in the Census
of Problem-Solving Courts 2012. Based
on pilot testing and in-house review, the
average (mean) burden for each
completed survey is expected to be
approximately 30 minutes per
respondent. The estimated range of
burden for respondents is expected to be
between 15 minutes to 1 hour for
completion. The following factors were
considered when creating the burden
estimate: the estimated total number of

problem-solving courts, the ability of
problem-solving courts to access data,
and the type of data capabilities
generally found in the field. BJS
estimates that nearly all of the
approximately 3,800 respondents will
fully complete the questionnaire.
6. An Estimate of the Total Public
Burden (in hours) Associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 1,918
hours. It is estimated that respondents
will take 30 minutes to complete a
questionnaire. The burden hours for
collecting respondent data sum to 1,900
hours (3,800 respondents × 0.5 hours =
1,900 hours). In addition to
respondents’ burden of completing the
census questionnaire, the CPSC requires
voluntary participation from State
Points of Contacts (SPOCs) to develop
an initial list of problem-solving court
docket contact information. While
SPOCs will not complete actual
questionnaires, their effort is a
necessary first step in identifying the
universe of problem-solving courts
nationwide. BJS estimates it will take,
on average, 20 minutes for each SPOC
to provide the requested list of problemsolving courts in their respective state.
There are 54 SPOCS (including DC,
Guam, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico).
The total time burden is 18 hours (54
SPOCS × 20 minutes = 18 hours).
Therefore the total estimated burden for
the entire CPSC 2012 project is 1,918
hours (1,900 hours for respondents + 18
hours for SPOCS = 1,918 hours).

was based on the findings that worker
separations were not attributable to
increased imports by the subject firm or
its declining customers of articles like or
directly competitive with particleboard
or a shift/acquisition of these articles to/
from a foreign country by the workers’
firm.
In the request for reconsideration, the
petitioner supplied additional
information regarding possible import
competition.
The Department of Labor has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record, and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements to apply for
TAA.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is
of sufficient weight to justify
reconsideration of the U.S. Department
of Labor’s prior decision. The
application is, therefore, granted.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 14th day of
