Department sponsoring the collection:
The form number is CJ–52. 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: This information collection is
a census of regional, state, and local law
enforcement training academies that
operated a basic training program in
2018. The 2018 survey builds upon the
previous three iterations of the CLETA
data collection referencing 2013, 2006,
and 2002. BJS plans to field the 2018
CLETA from January through August
2019. The information will provide
national statistics on staff, recruits/
trainees, curricula, facilities, and
policies of law enforcement training
academies.
Abstract: The 2018 CLETA will focus
on the same topics as the 2013
collection: the number and type of law
enforcement agencies served by
academies, the academies’ accreditation
status, oversight responsibilities related
to field training, reasons for recruits
failing to complete their training
program, and subject areas covered in
the training program curricula. While
there will be no content changes, BJS
will modify the format and design of
several survey items to improve
measurement and remove questions
from the 2013 survey that covered
topics that may no longer be relevant.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: A projected 950 respondents
will take an average of 2 hours each to
complete form CJ–52, including time to
research or find information not readily
available. In addition, an estimated 570
of the respondents will be contacted for
data quality follow-up by phone at 10
minutes per call.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 1,995
total burden hours associated with this
information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
OFCCP administers and enforces the
three nondiscrimination and equal
employment opportunity laws listed
below.
• Executive Order 11246, as amended
(E.O. 11246)
• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended (Section 503)
• Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as
amended (VEVRAA)
These authorities prohibit
employment discrimination by covered
federal contractors and subcontractors
and require that they provide equal
employment opportunities regardless of
race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national
origin, disability, or status as a protected
veteran. Additionally, federal
contractors and subcontractors are
prohibited from discriminating against
applicants and employees for asking
about, discussing, or sharing
information about their pay or the pay
of their co-workers. E.O. 11246 applies
to federal contractors and
subcontractors and to federally assisted
construction contractors holding a
Government contract in excess of
$10,000, or Government contracts that
have, or can reasonably be expected to
have, an aggregate total value exceeding
$10,000 in a 12-month period. E.O.
11246 also applies to government bills
of lading, depositories of federal funds
in any amount, and to financial
institutions that are issuing and paying
agents for U.S. Savings Bonds. Section
503 prohibits employment
discrimination against applicants and
employees because of physical or
mental disability and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons
are treated without regard to disability.
Section 503 applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors with
contracts in excess of $15,000. VEVRAA
prohibits employment discrimination
against protected veterans and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons
are treated without regard to their status
as a protected veteran. VEVRAA applies
to federal contractors and
subcontractors with contracts of
$150,000 or more. This collection will
implement the LEAD award that will
recognize federal contractor and
subcontractor establishments that have
developed and successfully
implemented comprehensive equal
employment opportunity and
nondiscrimination programs.
