    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension, without change, of a 
currently approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Juvenile Residential Facility 
Census.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of

Office of Justice Programs, United States Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Federal Government, State, Local or 
Tribal. Other: Not-for-profit institutions; Business or other for-
profit. Abstract: The Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC), 
which is administered biennially, collects information from all secure 
and nonsecure residential placement facilities that house juvenile 
offenders about how juvenile facilities operate and the services they 
provide. The information gathered in the national collection will be 
used 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 
juvenile facilities, and the general public via the OJP agency 
websites.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The number of 
respondents in the facility universe is currently 2,208. It is 
estimated that 1,988 respondents will complete the entire questionnaire 
in an average of 2 hours per respondent (2 hours x 1,988 facilities = 
3,976 hours). It is anticipated that approximately 10 percent or 220 
facilities will provide critical item data by phone during nonresponse 
follow-up calls taking an average of 10 minutes (10 minutes x 220 
facilities = 36.7 hours). It is also anticipated that approximately 10 
percent or 220 facilities will provide updated contact information on 
calls taking an average of 5 minutes (5 minutes x 220 facilities = 18.3 
hours).
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are an estimated 4,031 total burden hours 
associated with the collection.
