they have been the subject of only
limited studies and no comprehensive
recurring statistical collection.
As part of the CTLEA questionnaire
development process, during FY 2016
and FY 2017, BJS implemented a
comprehensive and culturally centered
strategy to gather input from both
federal agencies and tribal law
enforcement agencies on the proposed
content for the CTLEA questionnaire.
First, various DOJ policy and grant
making components were invited to
provide recommendations on their
critical data needs to improve program
planning and resource allocation.
Second, BJS hosted a two day tribal
justice expert panel in Phoenix, Arizona
that included participants from the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, the FBI’s
Indian Country Crimes Unit, tribal law
enforcement agencies, and Alaska
Native villages. Third, the CTLEA draft
questionnaire content was then
submitted for review by various tribal
law enforcement agencies, including
those in both Public Law (Pub. L.) 280
and non-Public Law 280 jurisdictions
and BIA agencies.1
BJS conducted cognitive testing
during July—August 2018 of the CTLEA
survey to ensure: (1) Question ordering
and item clarity, (2) availability of data
types requested, and (3) verification of
the estimated respondent burden. The
full data collection period, which is
anticipated to commence April–August
2019, pending OMB approval.
The CTLEA will collect data on the
administrative and operational
characteristics of the tribal law
enforcement agencies, with the goal of
producing national statistics on tribal
law enforcement agency staffing;
sources of funding; calls for service and
arrests; training; coordination and
collaboration with Federal, State and
local agencies; technology use; and,
access to regional and national criminal
justice databases. These data will allow
BJS to establish baselines for future
trend analyses and comparisons with
future surveys of tribal law enforcement
agencies.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 279 tribal law
enforcement agencies—including tribal
operated police departments (229),
conservation/wildlife enforcement
agencies (44), and tribal university or
college police (6)—that serve or work on
tribal lands will be asked to take part in
the CTLEA. Based on the survey
development and cognitive testing
activities, an average of 30 minutes per
respondent is needed to complete the
CTLEA–18 form per respondent. BJS
anticipates that nearly all of the
approximately 279 respondents will
fully complete the questionnaire.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated public
burden associated with this collection is
174.5 hours. It is estimated that
respondents will take 30 minutes to
complete a questionnaire (279 × 30 =
139.5 hours) and additional verification
or validation of responses for about 50%
of the respondents will require 15
minutes (140 × 15 minutes = 35 hours).

1 Public Law 83–280, August 15, 1953, codified
as 18 U.S.C. 1162, 28 U.S.C. 1360, and 25 U.S.C.
1321–1326). Due to the sovereign status of federally
recognized tribes in the United States, crimes
committed in Indian country are often subject to
concurrent jurisdiction among multiple criminal
justice agencies. More than 300 tribes in the United
States are under Public Law 83–280 jurisdictions
(commonly referred to as Pub. L. 280), which
established a method whereby the federal
government could transfer mandatory jurisdiction
over crimes in Indian country to states or states
could acquire optional jurisdiction in whole or in
part over Indian country within their boundaries.
Sixteen states have established either mandatory or
optional jurisdictions over crimes in Indian
country.
California, Minnesota (except the Red Lake
Reservation), Nebraska, Oregon (except the Warm
Springs Reservation), and Wisconsin. Ten states
have acquired optional jurisdiction over crimes in
Indian country: Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Iowa,
Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Utah, and Washington. In states where Public Law
280 does not apply, the federal government retains
criminal jurisdiction for major crimes committed in
Indian country. Federal jurisdiction in Indian
country is established under the Indian Country
Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 1152), the Indian Country
Major Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 1153), and the
Assimilative Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 13).

test methodologies for collecting
information from law enforcement
agencies on child victims of stranger
abductions, parental abductions, and
other types of missing children,
respectively. The pilot test data will be
used solely to evaluate the effectiveness
of the proposed survey methodologies.
The national study will collect data on
the number and characteristics of
children abducted by strangers (i.e.,
‘‘stereotypical kidnappings’’). OJJDP
will use the information gathered in the
national study 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 missing children statistics,
and the general public via the OJJDP
website.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond:
Burden Hours for Law Enforcement
Survey—Stereotypical Kidnappings
(LES–SK) Pilot: OJJDP expects 20 law
enforcement investigators to spend an
average of 40 minutes completing an
online case detail survey and 20
minutes completing the telephone
debriefing about the online survey (20 ×
60 minutes = 20 hours). In addition,
OJJDP expects the NCMEC database
administrator to spend 5 hours pulling
20 stereotypical kidnappings cases from
the NCMEC database for use in testing
the online survey (1 × 5 hours = 5
hours). The total amount of time for the
LES–SK pilot is 25 hours.
Burden Hours for Law Enforcement
Survey—Family Abductions (LES–FA)
Pilot: The sample size for Components
1 and 2 of the pilot is 30 law
enforcement investigators who will be
asked to search their database for cases
of family abductions occurring in a 1year period. OJJDP estimates the search
will take an average of 3 hours and that
28 will comply (28 × 3 hours = 84
hours), 2 will decline (2 × 3 minutes =
6 minutes). OJJDP estimates that
database administrators for NCMEC and
the MCCs associated with states in the
sample will all agree to conduct
database searches for the agencies in
Component 1 and Component 2 and that
these searches will take an average of 3
hours (31 × 4 hours = 124 hours). OJJDP
estimates that all 5 agencies selected for
telephone debriefing in Component 1
will participate and the interviews will
take an average of 20 minutes to
complete (5 × 20 minutes = 1.67 hours).
OJJDP expects that all 10 of the law
enforcement investigators selected to
complete the Component 3 case detail
telephone survey will participate and
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703

1513
that the interview will take 30 minutes
(10 × 30 minutes = 5 hours). OJJDP
estimates that 18 of the 20 investigators
selected to complete the Component 3
case detail online survey will comply
and that the instrument will take an
average of 15 minutes (18 × 15 minutes
= 4.5 hours), 2 will decline (2 × 3
minutes = 6 minutes). OJJDP expects
that all 18 investigators who complete
the online survey will agree to
participate in the 20 minute debriefing
telephone interview (18 × 20 minutes =
6 hours). The total amount of time for
the LES–FA pilot is 225.4 hours.
Burden Hours for Law Enforcement
Survey—Missing Children (LES–MC)
Pilot: The sample size for Components
1 and 2 of the pilot is 30 law
enforcement investigators who will be
asked to search for case of missing
children occurring in a 1-month period.
OJJDP estimates the search will take an
average of 3 hours and that 28 will
comply (28 × 3 hours = 84 hours), 2 will
decline (2 × 3 minutes = 6 minutes).
OJJDP estimates that database
administrators for NCMEC and the
MCCs associated with states in the
sample will all agree to conduct
database searches and that these
searches will take an average of 4 hours
(31 × 4 hours = 124 hours). OJJDP
estimates that all five agencies selected
for telephone debriefing in Component
1 will participate and the interviews
will take an average of 20 minutes to
complete (5 × 20 minutes = 1.67 hours).
OJJDP expects that all 10 of the law
enforcement investigators selected to
complete the Component 3 case detail
telephone survey will participate and
that the interview will take 30 minutes
(10 × 30 minutes = 5 hours). OJJDP
estimates that 18 of the 20 investigators
selected to complete the Component 3
case detail online survey will comply
and that the instrument will take an
average of 15 minutes (18 × 15 minutes
= 4.5 hours), 2 will decline (2 × 3
minutes = 6 minutes). OJJDP expects
that all 18 investigators who complete
the online survey will agree to
participate in the 20 minute debriefing
telephone interview (18 × 20 minutes =
6 hours). The total amount of time for
the LES–MC pilot is 225.4 hours.
Burden Hours for National Law
Enforcement Survey—Stereotypical
Kidnappings (LES–SK): A total of 4,727
law enforcement agencies are included
in the national stratified cluster sample
of 400 PSUs (Primary Sampling Units).
All of these agencies will receive the
mail screener. OJJDP estimates that
2,836 (60 percent) of the law
enforcement agencies will complete the
screener by mail, based on the response
rate for the mail screener obtained for

1514
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 23 / Monday, February 4, 2019 / Notices
NISMART–3. The great majority of these
will have no stereotypical kidnapping
cases during the 1-year timeframe of the
survey and OJJDP estimates the average
time to complete the mail screener to be
15 minutes (2,836 × 15 minutes = 709.05
hours), 1,891 will not respond by mail
(1,891 × 3 minutes = 94.54 hours).
OJJDP estimates that 1,229 (26 percent)
of the law enforcement agencies will
complete the mail screener by
telephone, based on the percentage of
mail screeners completed by telephone
in NIMSART–3. OJJDP estimates that
the time to complete the screener by
telephone will be 4 minutes (1,229 × 4
minutes =81.9 hours), and 662 will not
respond (662 × 3 minutes = 33.1 hours).
OJJDP estimates that 204 cases will be
identified that appear to meet the
definition of a qualifying stereotypical
kidnapping case. The estimate is based
on the number of cases identified in
NISMART–3 for telephone followup
from the mail screener and searches of
other databases. Investigators of these
cases will be asked to complete the
online survey about case details. OJJDP
estimates that 161 (79 percent) of the
law enforcement officers will complete
the case detail online instrument
(estimate again based on the percentage
of investigators who completed this
component for NISMART–3) with 145
(90 percent) completing online. OJJDP
estimates that the instrument will take
an average of 40 minutes to complete
(145 × 40 minutes = 96.6 hours), 59 will
not respond online (59 × 3 minutes =
2.95 hours). OJJDP estimates that 16 (10
percent) of the 161 law enforcement
officers who complete the detailed case
survey will do it via telephone
interview and that the interview will
take 60 minutes (16 × 60 minutes = 16
hours), and that 43 will not respond (43
× 3 minutes = 2.15 hours). OJJDP
estimates the time for NCMEC and state
MCCs database administrators to
conduct a database search of any
stereotypical kidnapping cases in their
states to be 4 hours and expect that all
NCMEC and the state MCCs in the 49
states where the sampled PSUs are
located will participate (50 × 4 hour =
200 hours). The total amount of time for
the National LES–SK study is 1,236.5
hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 1,712
total burden hours (1,259 hours for law
enforcement investigators and 453 hours
for NCMEC and MCC database
administrators) associated with the
three pilot studies and the national
LES–SK study.

Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: New collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Fourth National Incidence
Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway and Thrownaway Children (NISMART-
4).
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: Not applicable (new
collection).
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: State, county, and local law
enforcement agencies (LEAs), state Missing Child Clearinghouses (MCCs),
and the National Center on Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
Abstract: The Fourth National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted,
Runaway and Thrownaway Children (NISMART-4) will include three pilot
studies and one national data collection. The three pilot studies will
test methodologies for collecting information from law enforcement
agencies on child victims of stranger abductions, parental abductions,
and other types of missing children, respectively. The pilot test data
will be used solely to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed
survey methodologies. The national study will collect data on the
number and characteristics of children abducted by strangers (i.e.,
``stereotypical kidnappings''). OJJDP will use the information gathered
in the national study 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 missing children statistics, and the general public via
the OJJDP website.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond:
Burden Hours for Law Enforcement Survey--Stereotypical Kidnappings
(LES-SK) Pilot: OJJDP expects 20 law enforcement investigators to spend
an average of 40 minutes completing an online case detail survey and 20
minutes completing the telephone debriefing about the online survey (20
x 60 minutes = 20 hours). In addition, OJJDP expects the NCMEC database
administrator to spend 5 hours pulling 20 stereotypical kidnappings
cases from the NCMEC database for use in testing the online survey (1 x
5 hours = 5 hours). The total amount of time for the LES-SK pilot is 25
hours.
Burden Hours for Law Enforcement Survey--Family Abductions (LES-FA)
Pilot: The sample size for Components 1 and 2 of the pilot is 30 law
enforcement investigators who will be asked to search their database
for cases of family abductions occurring in a 1-year period. OJJDP
estimates the search will take an average of 3 hours and that 28 will
comply (28 x 3 hours = 84 hours), 2 will decline (2 x 3 minutes = 6
minutes). OJJDP estimates that database administrators for NCMEC and
the MCCs associated with states in the sample will all agree to conduct
database searches for the agencies in Component 1 and Component 2 and
that these searches will take an average of 3 hours (31 x 4 hours = 124
hours). OJJDP estimates that all 5 agencies selected for telephone
debriefing in Component 1 will participate and the interviews will take
an average of 20 minutes to complete (5 x 20 minutes = 1.67 hours).
OJJDP expects that all 10 of the law enforcement investigators selected
to complete the Component 3 case detail telephone survey will
participate and that the interview will take 30 minutes (10 x 30
minutes = 5 hours). OJJDP estimates that 18 of the 20 investigators
selected to complete the Component 3 case detail online survey will
comply and that the instrument will take an average of 15 minutes (18 x
15 minutes = 4.5 hours), 2 will decline (2 x 3 minutes = 6 minutes).
OJJDP expects that all 18 investigators who complete the online survey
will agree to participate in the 20 minute debriefing telephone
interview (18 x 20 minutes = 6 hours). The total amount of time for the
LES-FA pilot is 225.4 hours.
Burden Hours for Law Enforcement Survey--Missing Children (LES-MC)
Pilot: The sample size for Components 1 and 2 of the pilot is 30 law
enforcement investigators who will be asked to search for case of
missing children occurring in a 1-month period. OJJDP estimates the
search will take an average of 3 hours and that 28 will comply (28 x 3
hours = 84 hours), 2 will decline (2 x 3 minutes = 6 minutes). OJJDP
estimates that database administrators for NCMEC and the MCCs
associated with states in the sample will all agree to conduct database
searches and that these searches will take an average of 4 hours (31 x
4 hours = 124 hours). OJJDP estimates that all five agencies selected
for telephone debriefing in Component 1 will participate and the
interviews will take an average of 20 minutes to complete (5 x 20
minutes = 1.67 hours). OJJDP expects that all 10 of the law enforcement
investigators selected to complete the Component 3 case detail
telephone survey will participate and that the interview will take 30
minutes (10 x 30 minutes = 5 hours). OJJDP estimates that 18 of the 20
investigators selected to complete the Component 3 case detail online
survey will comply and that the instrument will take an average of 15
minutes (18 x 15 minutes = 4.5 hours), 2 will decline (2 x 3 minutes =
6 minutes). OJJDP expects that all 18 investigators who complete the
online survey will agree to participate in the 20 minute debriefing
telephone interview (18 x 20 minutes = 6 hours). The total amount of
time for the LES-MC pilot is 225.4 hours.
Burden Hours for National Law Enforcement Survey--Stereotypical
Kidnappings (LES-SK): A total of 4,727 law enforcement agencies are
included in the national stratified cluster sample of 400 PSUs (Primary
Sampling Units). All of these agencies will receive the mail screener.
OJJDP estimates that 2,836 (60 percent) of the law enforcement agencies
will complete the screener by mail, based on the response rate for the
mail screener obtained for
[[Page 1514]]
NISMART-3. The great majority of these will have no stereotypical
kidnapping cases during the 1-year timeframe of the survey and OJJDP
estimates the average time to complete the mail screener to be 15
minutes (2,836 x 15 minutes = 709.05 hours), 1,891 will not respond by
mail (1,891 x 3 minutes = 94.54 hours). OJJDP estimates that 1,229 (26
percent) of the law enforcement agencies will complete the mail
screener by telephone, based on the percentage of mail screeners
completed by telephone in NIMSART-3. OJJDP estimates that the time to
complete the screener by telephone will be 4 minutes (1,229 x 4 minutes
=81.9 hours), and 662 will not respond (662 x 3 minutes = 33.1 hours).
OJJDP estimates that 204 cases will be identified that appear to meet
the definition of a qualifying stereotypical kidnapping case. The
estimate is based on the number of cases identified in NISMART-3 for
telephone followup from the mail screener and searches of other
databases. Investigators of these cases will be asked to complete the
online survey about case details. OJJDP estimates that 161 (79 percent)
of the law enforcement officers will complete the case detail online
instrument (estimate again based on the percentage of investigators who
completed this component for NISMART-3) with 145 (90 percent)
completing online. OJJDP estimates that the instrument will take an
average of 40 minutes to complete (145 x 40 minutes = 96.6 hours), 59
will not respond online (59 x 3 minutes = 2.95 hours). OJJDP estimates
that 16 (10 percent) of the 161 law enforcement officers who complete
the detailed case survey will do it via telephone interview and that
the interview will take 60 minutes (16 x 60 minutes = 16 hours), and
that 43 will not respond (43 x 3 minutes = 2.15 hours). OJJDP estimates
the time for NCMEC and state MCCs database administrators to conduct a
database search of any stereotypical kidnapping cases in their states
to be 4 hours and expect that all NCMEC and the state MCCs in the 49
states where the sampled PSUs are located will participate (50 x 4 hour
= 200 hours). The total amount of time for the National LES-SK study is
1,236.5 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There are an estimated 1,712 total burden hours
(1,259 hours for law enforcement investigators and 453 hours for NCMEC
and MCC database administrators) associated with the three pilot
studies and the national LES-SK study.
