the proposed collection of information
are encouraged. Your comments should
address one or more of the following
four points:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the
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:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection:
2018 Census of State and Local Law
Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA).
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form number is CJ–38. The
applicable component within the
Department of Justice that is sponsoring
this collection is the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, Office of Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Respondents will include all
publicly-funded state, county, local and
tribal law enforcement agencies in the
United States that employ the
equivalent of at least one full-time
sworn officer with general arrest
powers. Both general purpose agencies
(i.e., any public agency with sworn
officers whose patrol and enforcement
responsibilities are primarily delimited
by the boundaries of a municipal,
county, or state government) and special
purpose agencies (e.g., tribal, campus
law enforcement, transportation, natural
resources, etc.) meeting the above
description will be asked to respond.
Abstract: BJS has conducted the
CSLLEA regularly since 1986. The 2018
CSLLEA will be the seventh
administration. Historically, the
CSLLEA generates an enumeration of all
publically funded state, county, local
and tribal law enforcement agencies
operating in the United States. The
CSLLEA provides complete personnel

Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
7079
counts and an overview of the functions
performed for approximately 20,000 law
enforcement agencies operating
nationally.
The 2018 CSLLEA collection involves
two phases. In the first phase, BJS will
cognitively test the revised instrument
with 48 agencies based on agency type
(i.e., local and county police, sheriff’s
office, or special purpose) and size (i.e.,
100 or more full-time equivalent sworn
officers or less than 100 full-time
equivalent sworn officers). A maximum
of 8 agencies of each type and size will
participate in testing. BJS has reduced
the number of items from the 2014
administration but has included
additional items on limited sworn
officers. Additionally, BJS will continue
to refine the universe frame by verifying
agency in-service status, contact
information and de-duplicating
agencies.
Pending positive results from the first
phase, in the second phase, BJS will
conduct the main data collection. The
2018 CSLLEA is designed to collect
general information on state, county,
local and tribal law enforcement
agencies. The survey asks about the
level of government that operates the
agency; total operating budget; full-time
and part-time personnel counts for fully
sworn officers, limited sworn officers
and non-sworn employees; gender and
primary job responsibility of full-time
sworn officers; and the functions the
agency performs on a regular or primary
basis. Upon completion, the 2018
CSLLEA will serve as the sampling
frame for future law enforcement
surveys administered by BJS.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: For the cognitive testing, BJS is
planning 48 agencies with an estimated
total respondent burden of 90 minutes.
For the full data collection, BJS
estimates a maximum of 20,000 state,
county, local and tribal law enforcement
agencies with a respondent burden of
about 45 minutes per agency, including
the follow-up time.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated total
respondent burden for the cognitive
testing is 72 hours. The maximum
respondent burden for the full data
collection is approximately 15,000
burden hours. Therefore, total burden
for both phases is approximately 15,072
burden hours.
