Department sponsoring the collection:
Bureau of Justice Assistance, 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:
Primary: United States Border State,
Local, and Tribal governments.
Other: None.
Abstract: The Southwest Border
Prosecutor Initiative was enacted in FY
2002 to reimburse state, county, parish,
or municipal governments for the costs
associated with the prosecution of
criminal cases declined by local U.S.
Attorneys. Each year, hundreds of
criminal cases resulting from federal
arrests are referred to local prosecutors
to handle when the cases fall below
certain monetary, quantity, or severity
thresholds. This places additional
burdens on local government resources
that are already stretched by the
demands of prosecuting violations of
local and state laws. This program
provides funds to eligible jurisdictions
in the four southwest border states,
using a uniform payment-per-case basis
for qualifying federally initiated and
declined-referred criminal cases that
were disposed of after October 1, 2001.
Up to 220 eligible jurisdictions may
apply. This includes county
governments and the four state
governments in Arizona, California,
New Mexico, and Texas.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that no
more than 220 respondents will apply.
Each application takes approximately 60
minutes to complete and is submitted 4
times per year (quarterly).
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total hour burden to
complete the applications is 880 hours
(880 applications (220 × 4 times a year)
× 60 minutes = 52,800/60 minutes per
hour = 880 burden hours).
