proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
— Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; 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:
New collection under activities related
to the National Crime Victimization
Survey Redesign Research (NCVS–RR)
program: NCVS Subnational Companion
Study—American Crime Survey Field
Test.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection:
American Crime Survey (ACS).
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form number for the questionnaire
is ASC1 and ASC2. The applicable
component within the Department of
Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics,
in the Office of Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Adults ages 18 or older in 40
largest Core Based Statistical Areas
(CBSAs) in the United States, as
measured by the number of households.
Since 2008, BJS has initiated numerous
research projects to assess and improve
upon the core NCVS methodology. The
purpose the Companion Survey Field
Test will be to test a low-cost alternative
self-administered survey for collecting
information about violence and property
crime to generate subnational, local
level estimates of victimization. The
goal of this test is to generate a survey
that could parallel National Crime
Victimization Survey (NCVS) and
Uniform Crime Report (UCR) estimates
over time, rather than replicate either of
them, and could be used to assess
whether local initiatives are correlated
with changes in crime rates. A
secondary goal is to assess change over
time, as the Field Test will be
administered over two years, with a
cross-sectional address-based sample
survey in 2015 and a second addressbased sample survey 2016. The rationale
for collecting data in two years is that
we are able to assess the ability of the
instruments to detect change over time.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
An additional feature of the surveys
being tested is the inclusion of a set of
questions on perceptions of
neighborhood safety, fear of crime, and
police effectiveness, which would allow
the survey to be used to assess changes
in these perceptions as well. This
information is not currently available
from the NCVS.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: Over the two year period
approximately 200,400 households are
expected to complete the survey. The
sample is divided into two groups by
instrument version: ASC1 person-level
survey and ASC2 incident-level survey.
Over the two waves, for both versions,
approximately 25% of households
interviewed in year 1 will be reinterviewed in year 2.
• The first group of 100,200
households will receive the ASC1, a
person-level survey to measure
prevalence or the number of adult
household members victimized by one
or more types of violent crime and the
number of households victimized by
types of property crime. The expected
burden placed on these respondents is
12 minutes per respondent for a total of
20,040 burden hours for both years.
• The second group of 100,200
households will receive the ASC2, an
incident-level survey to measure the
number of victimization incidents
experienced by all adult household
members. The expected burden placed
on these respondents is 12.5 minutes for
a total of 17,535 burden hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total respondent burden
is approximately 37,575 hours.
