collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
function 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 the collection
of information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological

permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
1. Type of information collection: Reinstatement of previously approved data
collection, Survey of General Purpose
Law Enforcement Agencies (SGPLEA),
2012.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
2. The title of the form/collection:
Survey of General Purpose Law
Enforcement Agencies (SGPLEA), 2012.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form labels are SGPLEA, 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: General purpose law
state and local law enforcement
agencies, including police departments,
sheriffs, and constables at the state,
county and municipal level, including
tribal law enforcement agencies.
Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics
(BJS) proposes to implement a Survey of
General Purpose Law Enforcement
Agencies (SGPLEA). This survey builds
upon the previous eight waves of the
BJS-sponsored surveys in the Law
Enforcement Management and
Administrative Statistics (LEMAS)
Program. The SGPLEA will continue to
generate nationally-representative
estimates of the nature of law
enforcement agencies and personnel by
focusing on a smaller set of core issues
in contemporary policing. With the
revision to the SGPLEA, BJS will
produce law enforcement statistics that
will include a consistent set of core
items and topical supplements that will
vary from wave to wave. In addition to
core issues concerning the number and
type of agencies, the nature and
diversity of law enforcement personnel,
employee wages and benefits, agency
budgets and organizational responses to
contemporary law enforcement issues,
the supplemental components of the
2012 SGPLEA will collect information
on the following categories:
a. Recruitment and Retention of Staff
b. Community Policing
c. Information Systems
d. Officer Safety
e. Uses of Force
5. An Estimate of the Total Number of
Respondents and the Amount of Time
Estimated for an Average Respondent to
Respond: Based on pilot testing with a
draft of the 2012 SGPLEA instrument,
the reduction in the total number of
variables included in SGPLEA form
compared to the 2007 LEMAS forms,
and the increased burden on smaller
law enforcement agencies, BJS estimates
that 3,200 respondents will complete
the SGPLEA survey form with an
average burden per respondent of 3
hours.

insurers who have been identified as
responsible for paying Black Lung
benefits to an eligible miner or an
eligible surviving dependent of the
miner, are called Responsible Operators
(ROs). ROs who pay benefits are
required to report any change in the
benefit amount to the Division of Coal
Mine Workers’ Compensation within
the OWCP. Form CM–908, when
properly completed and submitted,
notifies the agency of the change in the
beneficiary’s benefit amount and the
reason for the change. Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 as
amended, section 432 (30 U.S.C. 942)
and regulations 20 CFR 725.621
necessitate this information collection.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1240–0030. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
June 30, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect after OMB approval. This ICR is
classified as a revision, because the
OWCP has made certain changes for
Form CM–908; however, those changes
are not expected to change respondent
burden. For example, the OWCP has
added the DOL seal and removed a
reference to the no longer existent
Employment Standards Administration.
In addition, the OWCP has added a
notice that additional assistance is
available for respondents with
disabilities and improved accessibility
for such persons who access the form on
the Internet. The OWCP has also added
some functionality to ensure
consistency and accuracy for some
responses. For additional information,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on March 7, 2012 (77
FR 13636).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of

this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tax
Performance System (TPS) gathers and
disseminates information on the
timeliness and accuracy of state
unemployment insurance (UI) tax
operations. The Department is required
to review the timeliness, accuracy, and
completeness of certain tax collections
of states using the TPS. The TPS
Operations Handbook, ET–407,
prescribes the operation of this program.
TPS data now are an integral part of UI
PERFORMS, the performance
management system for the UI program.
UI PERFORMS incorporates a strategic
planning process of identifying
priorities; ongoing collection and
monitoring of valid data to measure
performance; identification of areas of
potential improvement; and
development of specific action steps to
improve performance, followed by use
of available data to determine whether
the action steps are successful.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
