Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
National Standards to Prevent, Detect,
and Respond to Prison Rape (28 CFR
part 115).
3. The agency form number: There is
no form number associated with this
information collection. The applicable
component within the Department of
Justice is the Bureau of Justice
Assistance, in the Office of Justice
Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: On June 20, 2012, the
Department of Justice published a Final
Rule to adopt national standards to
prevent, detect, and respond to sexual
abuse in confinement settings pursuant
to the Prison Rape Elimination Act of
2003 (PREA) 42 U.S.C. 15601 et seq.
These national standards, which went
into effect on August 20, 2012, require
covered facilities to retain certain
specified information relating to sexual
abuse prevention planning, responsive
planning, education and training,
investigations and to collect and retain
certain specified information relating to
allegations of sexual abuse within the
facility. Covered facilities include:
Federal, state, and local jails, prisons,
lockups, community correction
facilities, and juvenile facilities,
whether administered by such
government or by a private organization
on behalf of such government. As the
agency responsible for PREA
implementation on behalf of the U.S.
Department of Justice, the Bureau of
Justice Assistance within the Office of
Justice Programs is submitting this
request to extend a currently approved
collection.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The recordkeeping and
reporting requirements established by
the PREA standards are based on
incidents of sexual abuse. An estimated
13,119 covered facilities nationwide are
required to comply with the PREA
standards. If all covered facilities were
to fully comply with all of the PREA
standards, the new burden hours
associated with the staff time that would
be required to collect and maintain the
information and records required by the
standards would be approximately 1.16
million in the first year of full
compliance, or about 89 hours per
facility.

Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Water
Act
On October 15, 2015, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Rhode Island in
the lawsuit entitled United States of
America v. Rhode Island Department of
Transportation, Civil Action No. CV–
15–433–ML–PAS.
In the Complaint filed in this action,
the United States, on behalf of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
alleges that the defendant Rhode Island
Department of Transportation
(‘‘RIDOT’’) has failed to comply with
certain conditions and limitations of the
municipal separate storm sewer system
(‘‘MS4’’) permit applicable to it under
the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et
seq., including by failing to (a) conduct
required catchment area assessments
and implement storm water pollution
controls, including structural controls,
to address RIDOT storm water
discharges to water-quality impaired
waters, (b) develop and implement an
adequate program to detect and
eliminate illicit discharges into the
RIDOT MS4, (c) sweep all RIDOT roads

as required by the permit for pollution
prevention, and (d) inspect, maintain,
and repair catch basins and other
components of RIDOT’s storm water
drainage systems.
The Consent Decree requires RIDOT
to (a) develop and implement storm
water control plans to address RIDOT’s
discharges to water-quality impaired
waters, including impaired waters both
with and without Total Maximum Daily
Load determinations, (b) develop and
implement an adequate program to
detect and eliminate illicit discharges
into the RIDOT MS4, (c) implement a
street sweeping tracking system and
sweep all RIDOT roads as required by
the permit, with increased frequency
street sweeping required in specified
areas, and (d) implement a program to
inspect, clean, and, as necessary, repair
components of RIDOT’s storm water
drainage system, including catch basins,
manholes, outfalls, and storm water
treatment units, and to provide for
tracking of the inspection and
maintenance work.
The Consent Decree also provides that
RIDOT will pay a civil penalty of
$315,000 and perform two supplemental
environmental projects (‘‘SEPs’’) valued,
collectively, at $234,600. The SEPs
provide for the preservation of two
forested parcels of land in watersheds of
impaired waterways. The first parcel is
approximately 55 acres and is located in
Johnston, RI, abutting the Powder Mill
Ledges Wildlife Refuge, in the
watershed of Assapumpset Brook and
the Woonasquatucket River. The other
parcel is approximately 25 acres and is
located in Lincoln, RI, in the vicinity of
Olney Pond in Lincoln Woods State
Park, in the watershed of the
Moshassuck River.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
Consent Decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to
