Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
National Standards to Prevent, Detect,
and Respond to Prison Rape (28 CFR
part 115).
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
There is no form number associated
with this information collection. The
applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Bureau of
Justice Assistance, in the Office of
Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: On June 20, 2012, the
Department of Justice published a Final
Rule to adopt national standards to
prevent, detect, and respond to sexual
abuse in confinement settings pursuant
to the Prison Rape Elimination Act of
2003 (PREA) 42 U.S.C. 15601 et seq.
These national standards, which went
into effect on August 20, 2012, require
covered facilities to retain certain
specified information relating to sexual
abuse prevention planning, responsive
planning, education and training,
investigations and to collect and retain
certain specified information relating to
allegations of sexual abuse within the
facility. Covered facilities include:
Federal, state, and local jails, prisons,
lockups, community correction
facilities, and juvenile facilities,
whether administered by such
government or by a private organization
on behalf of such government. As the

implementation on behalf of the U.S.
Department of Justice, the Bureau of
Justice Assistance within the Office of
Justice Programs is submitting this
request to extend a currently approved
collection.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The recordkeeping and
reporting requirements established by
the PREA standards are based on
incidents of sexual abuse. An estimated
13,119 covered facilities nationwide are
required to comply with the PREA
standards. If all covered facilities were
to fully comply with all of the PREA
standards, the new burden hours
associated with the staff time that would
be required to collect and maintain the
information and records required by the
standards would be approximately 1.16
million in the first year of full
compliance, or about 89 hours per
facility.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
hours associated with this collection is
1.16 million in the first year of full
compliance, or about 89 hours per
facility.

number of submissions over the last 4
years, and the estimated time required

Adverse Effect Wage Rates for 2019
The Department’s H–2A regulations at
20 CFR 655.122(l) provide that
employers must pay their H–2A workers
and workers in corresponding
employment at least the highest of: (i)
The AEWR; (ii) the prevailing hourly
wage rate; (iii) the prevailing piece rate;
(iv) the agreed-upon collective
bargaining wage rate; or (v) the Federal
or State minimum wage rate in effect at
the time the work is performed.
The AEWR for all agricultural
employment (except for the herding or
production of livestock on the range,
which is covered by 20 CFR 655.200–
655.235) for which temporary H–2A
certification is being sought is equal to
the annual weighted average hourly
wage rate for field and livestock workers
(combined) in the State or region as
published annually by the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA). 20
CFR 655.120(c) requires that the
Administrator of the Office of Foreign
Labor Certification publish the USDA
field and livestock worker (combined)
wage data as AEWRs in a Federal
Register Notice. Accordingly, the 2019
AEWRs to be paid for agricultural work
performed by H–2A and U.S. workers
