Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed collection;
Comment Requested; New Collection:
Census of Adult Probation Supervising
Agencies, 2014
ACTION:
60-Day notice.
The Department of Justice (DOJ),
Office of Justice Programs, will be
submitting the following information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. Comments
are encouraged and will be accepted for
‘‘sixty days’’ until April 11, 2014. This
process is conducted in accordance with
5 CFR 1320.10.
If you have comments especially
regarding the estimated public burden
and associated response time, or need a
copy of the proposed information
collection instrument with instructions
or additional information, please
contact Lauren Glaze, Statistician,
Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 7th St.,
NW., Washington, DC 20531 (email
Lauren.Glaze@usdoj.gov; phone (202)
305–9628).
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address one or more
of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) 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:
New Collection. While the Bureau of
Justice Statistics conducted a census of
probation and parole agencies in 1991,
the 2014 Census of Adult Probation
Supervising Agencies is now a
standalone collection. This collection’s
scope is narrower and only includes
adult probation agencies. The scope of
the 1991 census was broader and
included both adult probation and
parole agencies.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 2014
Census of Adult Probation Supervising
Agencies.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection:
(a) Form number: CAPSA–AIF is the
Agency Information Form (AIF) for
public agencies, CAPSA–CIF is the
Company Information Form (CIF) for
private probation companies, CAPSA–
1A is the questionnaire for public
probation agencies, and CAPSA–1B is
the questionnaire for private probation
companies. Corrections Statistics
Program, Bureau of Justice Statistics,
Office of Justice Programs, U.S.
Department of Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
to respond, as well as a brief abstract:
Primary: State or local government.
Other: Federal government or private
companies. The primary goals of the
work under this clearance are to: 1)
enhance and validate a national roster of
probation agencies that supervise adults
on probation for a felony (or those that
supervise felons and misdemeanants)
and private companies that directly
supervise adult probationers; and 2)
collect information from those agencies
to report national and state-level
statistics that provide a clear
understanding of how adult probation
in the United States is currently
organized, the supervision policies and
practices agencies have established to
administer adult probation, the various
types of functions adult probation
agencies perform, and the different
types of individuals supervised by adult
probation agencies. The Bureau of
Justice Statistics will use this
information in published reports and for
the U.S. Congress, Executive Office of
the President, practitioners, researchers,
students, the media, and others

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 27 / Monday, February 10, 2014 / Notices
interested in community corrections
statistics.
All agencies and companies that are
believed to supervise adult probationers
are on a preliminary roster that BJS and
Westat, the data collection agent for the
CAPSA, developed by reviewing and
compiling data and information from
various available resources. The
CAPSA–AIF or CAPSA–CIF will be
mailed to the head of each agency/
company on the preliminary roster and
the head of the agency/company will be
asked to confirm the contact
information for the agency/company
and designate a respondent(s) to
complete the CAPSA questionnaire.
Agency/company heads will be asked to
fax, email, or mail the AIF or CIF to
Westat. Designated respondents from
public probation agencies will receive
the CAPSA–1A questionnaire and will
be asked to report via the Internet
through a web survey with telephone
reporting as a secondary mode.
Designated respondents from private
probation companies will receive the
CAPSA–1B questionnaire and will be
asked to return the paper questionnaire
by fax, email, or mail. Telephone will
also serve as a secondary mode of data
collection for private probation
companies.
The CAPSA–1A will collect
information from public probation
agencies about their branch and level of
government, the various functions they
perform, the policies and practices they
have in place to administer adult
probation related to both adult
probationers and the community
corrections officers that supervise them,
the extent to which agencies have
supervision authority, the various
populations they serve, the size of their
adult probation population, and funding
sources for adult probation. In an effort
to validate the roster of probation
agencies and companies, respondents
will also be asked to review a list of
public probation agencies in their state
to identify any that may be missing from
the list. They will also be asked to
report any private probation companies
that supervise adult probationers in
their state.
The CAPSA–1B will collect
information from private probation
companies about the various functions
they perform, the number of states for
which they supervise adult
probationers, the branches and levels of
government from which they receive
adult probationers to supervise, the
extent to which any governmental entity
conducts oversight of their supervision
activities, the various populations they
serve, the size of their adult probation
population, and the practices and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
methods they use to administer adult
probation.
Both the CAPSA–1A and CAPSA–1B
questionnaires will include questions to
confirm that the agencies/companies
supervise adult probationers and are
therefore correctly included on the
roster and fall within the scope of the
CAPSA.
In addition, because the organization
of adult probation varies drastically not
only by state but within particular
states, as part of the work under this
clearance to enhance and validate the
roster of adult probation agencies and
companies, one informant in each state,
the District of Columbia, and the
Federal system will be asked to
complete a telephone interview. These
contacts are necessary to assist in: (1)
identifying any agencies that may be
missing or should be removed from the
roster (e.g., agencies that are no longer
in operation); (2) updating information
contained in the resources that have
been used to develop the preliminary
roster since some of the source material
was only available from publications
that were published 5 to 10 years ago;
and (3) resolving questions about how
probation is organized in the
jurisdiction that stem from differences
in the way probation in particular
jurisdictions has been described in some
of the materials used to develop the
preliminary roster.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
needed for an average respondent to
respond:
(a) CAPSA–AIF form: Approximately
2000 respondents, each taking an
average 5 minutes to respond.
(b) CAPSA–CIF form: Approximately
200 respondents, each taking an average
of 5 minutes to respond.
(c) CAPSA–1A form: Approximately
2,000 respondents, each taking an
average of 65 minutes to respond.
(d) CAPSA–1B form: Approximately
200 respondents, each taking an average
of 31 minutes to respond.
(e) 52 telephone calls to informants in
each jurisdiction, each taking an average
of 30 minutes to respond.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 2,480 annual burden hours.
