(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The National Corrections
Reporting Program (NCRP) is the only
national data collection furnishing
annual individual-level information for
state prisoners at four points in the
incarceration process: prison admission;
prison release; annual yearend prison
custody census; and discharge from
parole/community corrections
supervision. BJS, the U.S. Congress,
researchers, and criminal justice
practitioners use these data to describe
annual movements of adult offenders
through state correctional systems, as
well as to examine long term trends in
time served in prison, demographic and
offense characteristics of inmates,
sentencing practices in the states that
submit data, transitions between
incarceration and community
corrections, and recidivism. Providers of
the data are personnel in the states’
Departments of Corrections and Parole,
and all data are submitted on a
voluntary basis. The NCRP collects the
following administrative data on each
inmate in participating states’ custody:

• County of sentencing
• State inmate identification number
• Dates of: birth; prison admission;
prison release; parole discharge;
parole eligibility hearing; projected
prison release; mandatory prison
release
• First and last names
• Demographic information: sex; race;
Hispanic origin; education level
• Offense type and number of counts
per inmate for a maximum of three
convicted offenses per inmate
• Prior time spent in prison and jail,
and prior felony convictions
• Total sentence length imposed
• Additional offenses and sentence time
imposed since prison admission
• Type of facility where inmate is
serving sentence (for yearend custody
census records only, the name of the
facility is requested)
• Type of prison admission
• Type of prison release
• Whether inmate was AWOL/escape
during incarceration
• Agency assuming custody of inmate
released from prison (parole records
only)
• Supervision status prior to discharge
from parole and type of discharge
In addition, BJS is requesting OMB
clearance to add the following items to
the NCRP collection, all of which are
likely available from the same databases
as existing data elements, and should
therefore pose minimal additional
burden to the respondents, while greatly
enhancing BJS’ ability to better
characterize the corrections systems and
populations it serves:
• Date and type of parole admission
• Location of parole discharge or parole
office
• FBI identification number
• Prior military service, date and type of
last discharge
BJS uses the information gathered in
NCRP in published reports and
statistics. The reports will be made
available to the U.S. Congress, Executive
Office of the President, practitioners,
researchers, students, the media, others
interested in criminal justice statistics,
and the general public via the BJS Web
site.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: BJS anticipates 57 respondents
to NCRP for report year 2012: 50 state
respondents; the California Juvenile
Justice Division; and six separate state
parole boards. Each respondent
currently submitting NCRP data will
require an estimated 28 hours of time to
supply the information for their annual
caseload and an additional 3 hours
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:05 Jun 14, 2012
Jkt 226001
documenting or explaining the data for
a total of 1,200 hours. For the 15 states
which have never submitted data or are
returning to NCRP submission following
a lapse of several years, the total first
year’s burden estimate is 933 hours,
which includes the time required for
developing or modifying computer
programs to extract the data, performing
and checking the extracted data, and
submitting it electronically to BJS’ data
collection agency via SFTP. The total
burden for all 57 NCRP data providers
is 2,133 hours for report year 2012.
Starting with report year 2013, this
burden will decrease to 1,326 hours
since all states will have data extract
programs created and need only make
minor modifications to obtain report
year 2013 data. All states submit data
via a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP)
electronic upload.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 2,133
total burden hours associated with this
collection for report year 2013.
