Overview of This Information

1. Type of Information Collection:

2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
National Survey on Correctional
Contraband (NSCC).
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
‘‘There is no agency form number for
this collection.’’ The applicable
component within the Department of
Justice is the Office of Justice Programs,
National Institute of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The current project aims to
develop national statistics on
correctional contraband and interdiction
modalities to fill these significant
knowledge gaps in the field. NIJ, in
collaboration with the Urban Institute,
will collect the data from the
department of corrections in all 50
states and a nationally representative
sample of jails (n=408).
In correctional facilities, contraband
items such as drugs, alcohol, cell
phones, tobacco products, and
makeshift weapons can be used by
inmates to spread violence, engage in
criminal activity, create underground
economies, and perpetuate existing
addictions. Contraband in correctional
facilities is therefore a cause of serious
concern for the safety and security of
inmates and correctional staff. However,
little is known about what types of
contraband interdiction modalities are
exercised across jurisdictions and have
proven successful, let alone how much
and what type of contraband is found in
correctional facilities in the U.S. and
how it is brought in.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:22 Dec 01, 2017
Jkt 244001
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated range of burden
for respondents completing the survey
is 60 minutes. The department of
corrections in all 50 states, responding
for 1,821 prison facilities, and a
nationally representative sample of jails
(n=408) will be recruited to complete
the survey.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 2,221
hours. It is estimated that 1,821 state
participants and 408 jail participants
will take one hour to complete the
survey.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Disaster Unemployment Assistance
Activities Report information collection.
Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act sections 410
and 423 provide for assistance to
eligible individuals who are
unemployed due to a major disaster.
State Workforce Agencies, through
individual agreements with the
Secretary of Labor, act as agents of the
Federal government in providing
Disaster Unemployment Assistance
(DUA) to eligible applicants who are
unemployed as a direct result of a major
disaster. Form ETA–902 is a monthly
report submitted by a State on DUA
program activities once the President
declares a disaster. Social Security Act
section 303(a)(6) authorizes this
information collection. See 42 U.S.C.
503(a)(6).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
