The Bureau of Justice Statistics uses
this information 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.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An approximate 3,102 total
respondents will be asked to submit an
estimated 11,152 responses each year to
this collection program. The typical
amount of time needed for a respondent
to complete each form is broken down
as follows:
Local jails/death reports (forms CJ–9
and CJ–10)—600 respondents will have
an average response time of 30 minutes
per form, for a total of 451 hours.
Analysis of data from past years shows
that approximately 80% of jails
nationwide have zero deaths in a given
calendar year. Thus, based on the 2010
data, approximately 20% of the 3,000
jails will complete death reports,
resulting in 600 respondents.
Respondents reporting zero deaths will
not need to complete a death report
form. Based on 2009 and 2010 data,
approximately 22% of the total 4,100
death reports received was from jail
respondents; thus, we expect to receive
approximately 902 death reports from
jails. For jurisdictions reporting a death,
the average response time is estimated
at 30 minutes per death, for a total of
451 hours devoted to reporting data on
deaths in jails. The estimated time is
based on feedback from jail staff.
Local jails/annual (forms CJ–9A and
CJ–10A)—an estimated 3,000 jail
respondents will have an average
response time of 15 minutes per form,
for a total of 750 hours. The estimated
time is based on feedback from jail staff.
State prison/death reports (form NPS–
A)—50 state prison respondents are
estimated to have an average response
time of 30 minutes per death, across
3,198 deaths each year, for a total of
1,599 hours. Based on 2009 and 2010
data, 78% of the total 4,100 death
36011
reports received was from state prisons;
thus, we expect to receive
approximately 3,198 death reports from
state prisons. The estimated time is
based on feedback from state prison
staff.
State prison/annual (form NPS–4)—
50 state prison respondents are
estimated to have an average response
time of 5 minutes per form, for a total
of 4 hours. Based on 2010 data, we
expect approximately 50 respondents.
The estimated time is based on feedback
from state prison staff.
Local jail and state prisons
(verification call)—3,050 respondents
(3,000 jail jurisdiction respondents and
50 state department of corrections
respondents) will be asked to participate
in the verification call, which has an
average response time of 8 minutes per
call, for a total of 407 hours (400 for jail
respondents and 7 for state prison
respondents). The estimated time is
based on the average time to complete
a verification call with a respondent.
Arrest-Related/death reports (CJ–
11A)—50 state-level respondents and 2
local law enforcement agencies are
estimated to have an average response
time of 60 minutes per death, across 900
deaths each year, for a total of 900
hours.
Arrest-Related/summary (CJ–11)—50
state-level respondents and 2 local law
enforcement agencies are estimated to
have an average response time of 5
minutes per form, for a total of 4 hours.
Based on 2010 data, we expect
approximately 50 respondents. The
estimated time is based on feedback
from state-level respondents.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 4,115 annual burden hours.

calculation are provided in the table

presences of alcohol, other drugs, or confirmed psychological
diagnosis;
(l) The survey ends with a box in which respondents can enter
notes.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics uses this information 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.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An approximate
3,102 total respondents will be asked to submit an estimated 11,152
responses each year to this collection program. The typical amount of
time needed for a respondent to complete each form is broken down as
follows:
Local jails/death reports (forms CJ-9 and CJ-10)--600 respondents
will have an average response time of 30 minutes per form, for a total
of 451 hours. Analysis of data from past years shows that approximately
80% of jails nationwide have zero deaths in a given calendar year.
Thus, based on the 2010 data, approximately 20% of the 3,000 jails will
complete death reports, resulting in 600 respondents. Respondents
reporting zero deaths will not need to complete a death report form.
Based on 2009 and 2010 data, approximately 22% of the total 4,100 death
reports received was from jail respondents; thus, we expect to receive
approximately 902 death reports from jails. For jurisdictions reporting
a death, the average response time is estimated at 30 minutes per
death, for a total of 451 hours devoted to reporting data on deaths in
jails. The estimated time is based on feedback from jail staff.
Local jails/annual (forms CJ-9A and CJ-10A)--an estimated 3,000
jail respondents will have an average response time of 15 minutes per
form, for a total of 750 hours. The estimated time is based on feedback
from jail staff.
State prison/death reports (form NPS-A)--50 state prison
respondents are estimated to have an average response time of 30
minutes per death, across 3,198 deaths each year, for a total of 1,599
hours. Based on 2009 and 2010 data, 78% of the total 4,100 death
reports received was from state prisons; thus, we expect to receive
approximately 3,198 death reports from state prisons. The estimated
time is based on feedback from state prison staff.
State prison/annual (form NPS-4)--50 state prison respondents are
estimated to have an average response time of 5 minutes per form, for a
total of 4 hours. Based on 2010 data, we expect approximately 50
respondents. The estimated time is based on feedback from state prison
staff.
Local jail and state prisons (verification call)--3,050 respondents
(3,000 jail jurisdiction respondents and 50 state department of
corrections respondents) will be asked to participate in the
verification call, which has an average response time of 8 minutes per
call, for a total of 407 hours (400 for jail respondents and 7 for
state prison respondents). The estimated time is based on the average
time to complete a verification call with a respondent.
Arrest-Related/death reports (CJ-11A)--50 state-level respondents
and 2 local law enforcement agencies are estimated to have an average
response time of 60 minutes per death, across 900 deaths each year, for
a total of 900 hours.
Arrest-Related/summary (CJ-11)--50 state-level respondents and 2
local law enforcement agencies are estimated to have an average
response time of 5 minutes per form, for a total of 4 hours. Based on
2010 data, we expect approximately 50 respondents. The estimated time
is based on feedback from state-level respondents.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 4,115 annual burden hours. The estimates
contributing to this calculation are provided in the table below.
