Corrections Statistics Unit, 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: 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 PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 49829 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 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.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: National Corrections Reporting 
Program (NCRP). The collection includes the forms: Prisoner Admission 
Report, Prisoner Release Report, Parole Release Report, Prisoners in 
Custody at Yearend Report.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form number(s): NCRP-
1A, NCRP-1B, NCRP-1C, and NCRP-1D. Corrections Statistics Unit, 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: 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 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.
