All agencies that responded yes will be asked to respond. Additionally, because the CSLLEA did not have a full response, any law enforcement agencies contiguous to tribal lands that did not respond to the CSLLEA will also be asked to respond. The Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies Serving Tribal Lands is the first national collection to gather data on the characteristics, functions, and resources of law enforcement agencies that provide services to tribal lands. (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 1,600 law enforcement agencies will be asked to respond to the survey. About 54% of these respondents will be ineligible to complete the survey instrument. For these entities the burden will be less than 5 minutes. Of the remaining 740 law enforcement agencies, we expect a 95% response rate or 703 agencies.

Notice; proposed guidelines. AGENCY: ACTION: The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) requires registration of individuals convicted of sex offenses as adults and, in addition, registration of juveniles adjudicated delinquent for certain serious sex offenses. SORNA also provides for a reduction of justice assistance funding to eligible jurisdictions that fail to ‘‘substantially implement’’ SORNA’s requirements, including the juvenile registration requirement, in their sex offender registration programs. These proposed guidelines provide guidance regarding the substantial implementation of the juvenile registration requirement by eligible jurisdictions. The Justice Department’s Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking will examine the following factors when assessing mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:37 Apr 08, 2016 Jkt 238001 whether a jurisdiction has substantially implemented SORNA’s juvenile registration provisions: Policies and practices to prosecute as adults juveniles who commit serious sex offenses; policies and practices to register juveniles adjudicated delinquent for serious sex offenses; and other policies and practices to identify, track, monitor, or manage juveniles adjudicated delinquent for serious sex offenses who are in the community and to ensure that the records of their identities and sex offenses are available as needed for public safety purposes. By affording jurisdictions greater flexibility in their efforts to substantially implement SORNA’s juvenile registration requirement, the proposed guidelines will further SORNA’s public safety objectives in relation to serious juvenile sex offenders and facilitate jurisdictions’ substantial implementation of all aspects of SORNA. The proposed guidelines concern only substantial implementation of SORNA’s juvenile registration requirement and do not affect substantial implementation of SORNA’s registration requirements for individuals convicted of sex offenses as adults. DATES: Written comments must be postmarked and electronic comments must be submitted on or before June 10, 2016.
