allowing for a 60 day comment period.
The purpose of this notice is to allow

This process is conducted in accordance

including the validity of the

—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
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
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.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• 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 in six states,
separate state parole departments
respond to the NCRP–1C request. 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
14 states which have never submitted
data or are returning to NCRP
submission following a lapse of several
years, the total first year’s burden
E:\FR\FM\24AUN1.SGM
24AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 165 / Friday, August 24, 2012 / Notices
estimate is 930 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 2,121
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 2,121
total burden hours associated with this
collection for report year 2012. Starting
in report year 2013, the total estimated
burden will be 1,326 hours.
