by the MOA, amounts to no sanction at
all. In short, adopting the ALJ’s
proposed sanction would send the
wrong message to both Respondent . . .
as well as other applicants/registrants’’).
For this reason, I find that suspending
Respondent’s DEA registration for one
month (concurrently with the sanction I
imposed for Respondent’s unlawful presigning of prescriptions) is necessary to
protect the public interest. In addition,
I impose the same restrictions to
Respondent’s registration as proposed
by the ALJ, and I direct that these
restrictions—set forth infra—are set to
begin at the conclusion of Respondent’s
one-month suspension.
The Agency’s interests in both
specific and general deterrence support
this two-part sanction. As for the
Agency’s interest in specific deterrence,
and as already noted, the one-month
suspension of his DEA registration is
not a bar on his practice, much less a
permanent bar. In addition, the
restrictions that I impose in this
Decision and Order will hopefully deter
Respondent from engaging in future
misconduct. As for the Agency’s interest
in general deterrence, not only does the
Agency have an obvious and manifest
interest in deterring violations of the
CSA and DEA’s regulations by members
of the regulated community, the Agency
also has a manifest interest in ensuring
that those members to whom it extends
the forbearance of an MOA will comply
with the terms of those agreements.
Roberto Zayas, M.D., 82 FR 21410,
21430 (2017).
I therefore conclude that the
suspension of Respondent’s DEA
registration for one month, in addition
to the imposition of the ALJ’s
recommended restrictions at the
conclusion of Respondent’s one-month
suspension, are necessary to protect the
public interest.
Order
Pursuant to the authority vested in me
by 21 U.S.C. 823(f) and 824(a), as well
as 28 CFR 0.100(b), I order that DEA
Certificate of Registration No.
BN4578057, issued to Brian Thomas
Nichol, M.D., be, and it hereby is,
suspended for one month. At the
conclusion of this one-month
suspension, I impose the following
restrictions on Brian Thomas Nichol’s
DEA Certificate of Registration No.
BN4578057:
1. That he may not participate in any drug
studies in which he is required to order,
maintain, store, or dispense controlled
substances for a period of four years.
2. That he may not order, maintain, store,
or dispense any controlled substances at his
registered location for a period of four years.

Jkt 244001
3. That restrictions one and two, above,
will not be lifted, even after four years, until
the Respondent has completed a course in
controlled substance recordkeeping, a course
in controlled substance storage, and a course
in the administration of controlled
substances, and provides the DEA with
evidence of completion of these courses.
These courses may not be used to meet any
continuing medical education requirement.
4. That prior to renewal of the
Respondent’s DEA registration, he sign a
document consenting to inspections by DEA
personnel of his medical practice without the
need for DEA personnel to obtain an
administrative inspection warrant prior to
conducting an inspection. By the terms
contained in the consent form, the consent
shall be valid for four years from the date his
current renewal application for a DEA
registration is approved. This consent form is
to be delivered to the Respondent’s local
DEA Field Office.
5. That prior to renewal of the
Respondent’s DEA registration, he sign a
document consenting to the conditions set
forth in Paragraphs one and two above and
acknowledging his understanding that his
failure to comply with the terms of those
conditions will constitute an independent
basis for administrative enforcement
proceedings by the DEA. This consent and
acknowledgement document shall be
delivered to the Respondent’s local DEA
Field Office.
This Order is effective October 19,
2018.

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 19, 2018 / Notices
abstract: Primary: 50 state departments
of corrections (DOCs) and 7 parole
supervising agencies (in six states and
the District of Columbia). The National
Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP)
is the only national data collection
furnishing annual individual-level
information for state prisoners at five
points in the incarceration process:
Prison admission, prison release, annual
year-end prison custody census, entry to
post-custody community corrections
supervision, and exits from postcustody community corrections
supervision. BJS, the U.S. Congress,
researchers, and criminal justice
practitioners use these data to describe
annual movements of adult offenders
through state correctional systems, as
well as to examine long-term trends in
time served in prison, demographic and
offense characteristics of inmates,
sentencing practices in the states that
submit data, transitions between
incarceration and community
corrections, and recidivism. Providers of
the data are personnel in the states’
Departments of Corrections and Parole,
and all data are submitted on a
voluntary basis. The NCRP collects the
following administrative data on each
inmate in participating states’ custody:
• County of sentencing
• State and federal inmate identification
numbers
• Dates of: Birth, prison admission,
prison release, projected prison
release, mandatory prison release,
eligibility hearing for post-custody
community corrections supervision,
post-custody community corrections
supervision entry, post-custody
community corrections supervision
exit
• First, middle, and last names
• Demographic information: Sex, race,
Hispanic origin, education level, prior
military service, date and type of last
discharge from military
• Offense type and number of counts
per inmate for a maximum of three
convicted offenses per inmate
• Total sentence length imposed
• Type of facility where inmate is
serving sentence (for year-end custody
census records only, the name of the
facility is also requested)
• Type of prison admission
• Type of prison release
• Location of post-custody community
supervision exit or post-custody
community supervision office (postcustody community supervision
records only)
• Social security number
• Address of last residence prior to
incarceration
• Prison security level at which the
inmate is held

For consideration, BJS is proposing to
add the following items to the NCRP
collection, all of which are likely
available from the same databases as
existing data elements and should likely
pose minimal additional burden to the
respondents, while enhancing BJS’
ability to characterize the corrections
systems and populations it serves:
• Status of current U.S. citizenship
• Country of current citizenship
• Country of birth
Finally, BJS is proposing to remove
the following 7 items from the NCRP
collection, based on a combination of
low response rates (less than 50% of
states) and/or high levels of missing
data (30% or higher missing) among
states that do respond:
• Prior prison time served by the
offender
• Additional offenses since admission
date
• Additional sentence time since
admission date
• Whether the offender was on AWOL
or escape while serving sentences
• Whether the offender was serving
time concurrently on community
release prior to prison release
• The number of days on community
release prior to prison release served
by the offender
• Offender’s supervision status prior to
release from post-custody community
supervision
BJS uses the information gathered in
NCRP in published reports and
statistics. The reports will be made
available to the U.S. Congress, Executive
Office of the President, practitioners,
researchers, students, the media, others
interested in criminal justice statistics,
and the general public via the BJS
website.
BJS received 3 comments to its 60-day
Federal Register Notice (https://
www.federalregister.gov/documents/
2018/07/09/2018-14599/agencyinformation-collection-activitiesproposed-ecollection-ecommentsrequested-extension-of-a). Responses to
these comments will be included in the
final clearance package submitted to
OMB and available at the NCRP page on
www.reginfo.gov (https://www.reginfo.
gov/public/do/PRAOMBHistory?omb
ControlNumber=1121-0065).
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: BJS anticipates 57 respondents
to NCRP by 2021: 50 state DOC
respondents and seven separate parole
supervising agencies (in six states and
the District of Columbia). Burden hours
for the three collection years (2019–
2021) differ based on whether a state
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
has previously submitted NCRP prison
and PCCS data in recent years. All 50
DOCs have recently submitted NCRP
prison data, but currently, only 32 DOCs
have submitted PCCS data in the last
four years.
Burden Hours for Prison Records
(NCRP–1A, NCRP–1B, NCRP–1D)
All 50 DOCs have recently submitted
NCRP prison data, so the average time
needed to continue providing prison
data is expected to be 8 hours per
respondent for both prisoner admissions
and releases (NCRP–1A and NCRP–1B)
and 8 hours for data on persons in
prison at year-end (NCRP–1D). For
2019, the total burden estimate of 16
hours per DOC for these three record
types is increased by 45 minutes from
the previous NCRP OMB submission, to
account for the addition and removal of
variables from states’ extract programs
(a 30 minute increase to add citizenship
questions to NCRP–1A and NCRP–1D,
and a 15 minute increase to remove the
7 variables). The total amount of time
estimated for 50 DOCs to submit NCRP–
A, –B, and –D records in 2019 is 837.5
hours (16.75 hours * 50 = 837.5 hours).
In 2020 and 2021, BJS expects to have
all 50 DOCs providing NCRP prison
data. The burden for provision of the
NCRP prison data will decrease to 14
hours per respondent due to the
removal of the 7 items (7 hours for the
prison admission and release records
combined, and 7 hours for the year-end
custody records), for a total of 700 hours
annually for the 50 DOCs in 2020 and
2021 (14 hours * 50 = 700 hours).
Burden Hours for PCCS Records (NCRP–
1E, NCRP–1F)
There are currently 37 jurisdictions
submitting PCCS data (32 DOCs and 5
parole boards), and BJS estimates that
extraction and submission of both the
PCCS entries and exits takes an average
of 8 hours per jurisdiction. In 2019, BJS
anticipates that 8 additional DOCs and
one parole supervising agency (likely
the District of Columbia) will submit
data, with the burden for each new
jurisdiction being 24 hours to set up
extraction programs and make the
submission. Thus, the burden for PCCS
records is 296 hours for those already
submitting (8 hours * 37 = 296 hours),
and 216 hours for new submissions (24
hours * 9 = 216). The total amount of
time for all PCCS submissions in 2019
is 512 hours.
In 2020, BJS hope to recruit an
additional 2 DOCs and the remaining
parole supervising agency to submit
NCRP PCCS data. The total estimate for
submission of PCCS for new
jurisdictions in 2020 is 72 hours (24
E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM
19SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 19, 2018 / Notices
hours * 3 = 72 hours). For those 40
DOCs and 6 parole boards currently
responding, provision of the PCCS data
in 2020 will total 368 hours (8 hours *
46 = 368 hours). The total amount of
time for all PCCS submissions in 2020
is 440 hours.
Similarly, BJS hopes that the
remaining 2 DOCs will submit PCCS
data for the first time in 2021. The
remaining non-reporting DOCs would
need a total of 48 hours to create data
extraction programs and begin data
submission (24 hours * 2 = 48 hours).
Those jurisdictions (42 DOCs and 7
parole supervising agencies) who
provided NCRP PCCS data in 2020 will
require 392 hours total to do the same
in 2021 (8 hours * 49 = 392 hours). The
total amount of time for all PCCS
submissions in 2021 is 440 hours.

Burden Hours for Data Review/FollowUp Consultations
Follow-up consultations with
respondents are usually necessary while
processing the data to obtain further
information regarding the definition,
completeness and accuracy of their
report. The duration of these follow-up
consultations will vary based on the
number of record types submitted, so
BJS has estimated an average of 3 hours
per jurisdiction to cover all of the
records (prison and/or PCCS) submitted.
In 2019, BJS anticipates that one of the
two parole supervising agencies not
currently submitting PCCS data will
begin to submit, so the number of
jurisdictions requiring follow-up
consultations is 51 (50 DOCs submitting
at least the prison data, and one parole
supervising agency submitting only
PCCS data). This yields a total of 153
hours of follow-up consultation after
submission (3 hours * 51 = 153 hours).
This total estimate of 153 hours for
data review/follow-up consultations
remains the same for 2020 and 2021.
Total Burden Hours for Submitting
NCRP Data
BJS anticipates that the total burden
for provision and data follow-up of all
NCRP data across the participating
jurisdictions in 2019 is 1,502.5 hours
(837.5 hours for prison records, 512
hours for PCCS records, and 153 hours
for follow-up consultation). This is
equivalent to roughly 29 hours per
respondent. The total annual burden for
provision and follow-up of NCRP data
in 2020 and 2021 is anticipated to be
1,293 hours (700 hours for prison
records, 440 hours for PCCS records,
and 153 hours for follow-up
consultation).

abstract: Primary: 50 state departments of corrections (DOCs) and 7
parole supervising agencies (in six states and the District of
Columbia). The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) is the
only national data collection furnishing annual individual-level
information for state prisoners at five points in the incarceration
process: Prison admission, prison release, annual year-end prison
custody census, entry to post-custody community corrections
supervision, and exits from post-custody community corrections
supervision. BJS, the U.S. Congress, researchers, and criminal justice
practitioners use these data to describe annual movements of adult
offenders through state correctional systems, as well as to examine
long-term trends in time served in prison, demographic and offense
characteristics of inmates, sentencing practices in the states that
submit data, transitions between incarceration and community
corrections, and recidivism. Providers of the data are personnel in the
states' Departments of Corrections and Parole, and all data are
submitted on a voluntary basis. The NCRP collects the following
administrative data on each inmate in participating states' custody:
County of sentencing
State and federal inmate identification numbers
Dates of: Birth, prison admission, prison release, projected
prison release, mandatory prison release, eligibility hearing for post-
custody community corrections supervision, post-custody community
corrections supervision entry, post-custody community corrections
supervision exit
First, middle, and last names
Demographic information: Sex, race, Hispanic origin, education
level, prior military service, date and type of last discharge from
military
Offense type and number of counts per inmate for a maximum of
three convicted offenses per inmate
Total sentence length imposed
Type of facility where inmate is serving sentence (for year-
end custody census records only, the name of the facility is also
requested)
Type of prison admission
Type of prison release
Location of post-custody community supervision exit or post-
custody community supervision office (post-custody community
supervision records only)
Social security number
Address of last residence prior to incarceration
Prison security level at which the inmate is held
For consideration, BJS is proposing to add the following items to
the NCRP collection, all of which are likely available from the same
databases as existing data elements and should likely pose minimal
additional burden to the respondents, while enhancing BJS' ability to
characterize the corrections systems and populations it serves:
Status of current U.S. citizenship
Country of current citizenship
Country of birth
Finally, BJS is proposing to remove the following 7 items from the
NCRP collection, based on a combination of low response rates (less
than 50% of states) and/or high levels of missing data (30% or higher
missing) among states that do respond:
Prior prison time served by the offender
Additional offenses since admission date
Additional sentence time since admission date
Whether the offender was on AWOL or escape while serving
sentences
Whether the offender was serving time concurrently on
community release prior to prison release
The number of days on community release prior to prison
release served by the offender
Offender's supervision status prior to release from post-
custody community supervision
BJS uses the information gathered in NCRP in published reports and
statistics. The reports will be made available to the U.S. Congress,
Executive Office of the President, practitioners, researchers,
students, the media, others interested in criminal justice statistics,
and the general public via the BJS website.
BJS received 3 comments to its 60-day Federal Register Notice
(https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/07/09/2018-14599/agency-information-collection-activities-proposed-ecollection-ecomments-requested-extension-of-a). Responses to these comments will
be included in the final clearance package submitted to OMB and
available at the NCRP page on www.reginfo.gov (https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAOMBHistory?ombControlNumber=1121-0065).
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: BJS anticipates
57 respondents to NCRP by 2021: 50 state DOC respondents and seven
separate parole supervising agencies (in six states and the District of
Columbia). Burden hours for the three collection years (2019-2021)
differ based on whether a state has previously submitted NCRP prison
and PCCS data in recent years. All 50 DOCs have recently submitted NCRP
prison data, but currently, only 32 DOCs have submitted PCCS data in
the last four years.
Burden Hours for Prison Records (NCRP-1A, NCRP-1B, NCRP-1D)
All 50 DOCs have recently submitted NCRP prison data, so the
average time needed to continue providing prison data is expected to be
8 hours per respondent for both prisoner admissions and releases (NCRP-
1A and NCRP-1B) and 8 hours for data on persons in prison at year-end
(NCRP-1D). For 2019, the total burden estimate of 16 hours per DOC for
these three record types is increased by 45 minutes from the previous
NCRP OMB submission, to account for the addition and removal of
variables from states' extract programs (a 30 minute increase to add
citizenship questions to NCRP-1A and NCRP-1D, and a 15 minute increase
to remove the 7 variables). The total amount of time estimated for 50
DOCs to submit NCRP-A, -B, and -D records in 2019 is 837.5 hours (16.75
hours * 50 = 837.5 hours).
In 2020 and 2021, BJS expects to have all 50 DOCs providing NCRP
prison data. The burden for provision of the NCRP prison data will
decrease to 14 hours per respondent due to the removal of the 7 items
(7 hours for the prison admission and release records combined, and 7
hours for the year-end custody records), for a total of 700 hours
annually for the 50 DOCs in 2020 and 2021 (14 hours * 50 = 700 hours).
Burden Hours for PCCS Records (NCRP-1E, NCRP-1F)
There are currently 37 jurisdictions submitting PCCS data (32 DOCs
and 5 parole boards), and BJS estimates that extraction and submission
of both the PCCS entries and exits takes an average of 8 hours per
jurisdiction. In 2019, BJS anticipates that 8 additional DOCs and one
parole supervising agency (likely the District of Columbia) will submit
data, with the burden for each new jurisdiction being 24 hours to set
up extraction programs and make the submission. Thus, the burden for
PCCS records is 296 hours for those already submitting (8 hours * 37 =
296 hours), and 216 hours for new submissions (24 hours * 9 = 216). The
total amount of time for all PCCS submissions in 2019 is 512 hours.
In 2020, BJS hope to recruit an additional 2 DOCs and the remaining
parole supervising agency to submit NCRP PCCS data. The total estimate
for submission of PCCS for new jurisdictions in 2020 is 72 hours (24
[[Page 47371]]
hours * 3 = 72 hours). For those 40 DOCs and 6 parole boards currently
responding, provision of the PCCS data in 2020 will total 368 hours (8
hours * 46 = 368 hours). The total amount of time for all PCCS
submissions in 2020 is 440 hours.
Similarly, BJS hopes that the remaining 2 DOCs will submit PCCS
data for the first time in 2021. The remaining non-reporting DOCs would
need a total of 48 hours to create data extraction programs and begin
data submission (24 hours * 2 = 48 hours). Those jurisdictions (42 DOCs
and 7 parole supervising agencies) who provided NCRP PCCS data in 2020
will require 392 hours total to do the same in 2021 (8 hours * 49 = 392
hours). The total amount of time for all PCCS submissions in 2021 is
440 hours.
Burden Hours for Data Review/Follow-Up Consultations
Follow-up consultations with respondents are usually necessary
while processing the data to obtain further information regarding the
definition, completeness and accuracy of their report. The duration of
these follow-up consultations will vary based on the number of record
types submitted, so BJS has estimated an average of 3 hours per
jurisdiction to cover all of the records (prison and/or PCCS)
submitted. In 2019, BJS anticipates that one of the two parole
supervising agencies not currently submitting PCCS data will begin to
submit, so the number of jurisdictions requiring follow-up
consultations is 51 (50 DOCs submitting at least the prison data, and
one parole supervising agency submitting only PCCS data). This yields a
total of 153 hours of follow-up consultation after submission (3 hours
* 51 = 153 hours).
This total estimate of 153 hours for data review/follow-up
consultations remains the same for 2020 and 2021.
Total Burden Hours for Submitting NCRP Data
BJS anticipates that the total burden for provision and data
follow-up of all NCRP data across the participating jurisdictions in
2019 is 1,502.5 hours (837.5 hours for prison records, 512 hours for
PCCS records, and 153 hours for follow-up consultation). This is
equivalent to roughly 29 hours per respondent. The total annual burden
for provision and follow-up of NCRP data in 2020 and 2021 is
anticipated to be 1,293 hours (700 hours for prison records, 440 hours
for PCCS records, and 153 hours for follow-up consultation).
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There are an estimated 1,502.5 total burden hours
associated with this collection in 2019, and 1,293 hours in both 2020
and 2021.
