L. 111–211, 124 Stat. 2258, § 251(b)). Indian country includes federally recognized reservations, tribal communities, and identified trust lands. Criminal jurisdiction in Indian country varies by type of crime committed, whether the offender or victim is a tribal member, and the state in which the offense occurred. This information collection helps BJS fulfill this mandate and meet the agency’s mission. (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 308 tribal law enforcement agencies—including tribal operated police departments (229), conservation/wildlife enforcement agencies (44), Bureau of Indian Affairs Police agencies (27), tribal university or college police (6) and the Alaska State Police (1)—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 and CTLEA–BIA forms per respondent. BJS anticipates that nearly all of the approximately 308 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 192.5 hours. It is estimated that respondents will take 30 minutes to complete a questionnaire (308 × 30 = 154 hours) and additional verification or validation of responses for about 50% of the respondents will require 15 minutes (154 × 15 minutes = 38.5 hours).

    Enacted in 2010, the Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA) requires BJS 
to (1) establish and implement a tribal data collection system, (2) 
consult with Indian tribes to establish and implement this data 
collection system, and (3) annually report to Congress the data 
collected and analyzed in accordance with the act (Pub. L. 111-211, 124 
Stat. 2258, Sec.  251(b)). Indian country includes federally recognized 
reservations, tribal communities, and identified trust lands. Criminal 
jurisdiction in Indian country varies by type of crime committed, 
whether the offender or victim is a tribal member, and the state in 
which the offense occurred. This information collection helps BJS
