—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; and
—Minimize the burden of the collection
of information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired.
2. Title of the Form/Collection:
Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ).
3. Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: The ASJ contains one form—
CJ–5: 2020 Annual Survey of Jails. The
applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS), in the Office of
Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Approximately 950 jails,
representing approximately 2,920 local
jails (city, county, regional, and private),
will be requested to provide information
for the following categories:
(a) At midyear (last weekday in the
month of June), the total number of
inmates confined in jail facilities and
the total number of persons under jail
supervision, but not confined;
(b) At midyear, inmate counts by sex,
juvenile status, race/Hispanic origin,
probation and parole status, conviction
status, severity of charge (felony or
misdemeanor), and U.S. citizenship
status;
(c) At midyear, the numbers of
inmates held for federal authorities,
state prison authorities, American
Indian or Alaska Native tribal
governments, and other local jails;
(d) On the weekend prior to midyear,
whether the jail had a weekend program
that allows offenders to serve their
sentences of confinement only on
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4707
weekends, and the number of program
participants;
(e) Rated capacity at midyear;
(f) The date and count for the greatest
number of confined inmates during the
30-day period in June;
(g) The average daily population by
sex during the 12-month period from
July 1 of last year to June 30 of current
year;
(h) The number of new admissions
into jail, and final discharges from jail,
by sex during the 12-month period from
July 1 of last year to June 30 of current
year;
(i) At midyear, the number of staff
members employed by the facility by
sex and occupation (i.e., correctional
officers or other staff).
The ASJ is the only national
collection that tracks annual changes in
the local jail population in the United
States. The ASJ is fielded every year
except in the years when BJS conducts
the Census of Jails (OMB Control No.
1121–0100). BJS requests clearance for
the 2020–22 ASJ under OMB Control
No. 1121–0094. The ASJ was last
approved under OMB Control No. 1121–
0094 (exp. date 01/31/2019), where it
was bundled with the Mortality in
Correctional Institutions-Jails (MCI,
formerly the Deaths in Custody
Reporting Program, OMB Control No.
1121–0249) and Survey of Jails in
Indian Country (OMB Control No. 1121–
0329). In 2017, the ASJ was separated
from the MCI-Jails and became a standalone collection again.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: During data collection in 2020,
950 respondents will each take an
average of 75 minutes to complete the
CJ–5 form (see table 1). Data quality
follow-up is needed for an estimated
70% of the respondents (665) and the
validation will run an average of 10
minutes for each respondent. In
addition, about 60 jails will be
contacted to verify facility operational
status and point-of-contact information,
which takes 5 minutes each on average.
These estimates are based on previous
estimates of item burden and input
received from participants in the 2018
jail collection cognitive test (generic
OMB clearance, Control No. 1121–
0249). Data collection in 2021 and 2022
will involve the same number of
respondents and require the same level
of burden. In total, there is an estimated
3,912 total burden hours associated with
this collection for the three years of data
collection, or approximately 1,304 hours
for each year.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the Clean Air
Act

Primary reporting mode
On January 21, 2020, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed consent
decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Colorado in the
lawsuit entitled United States of
America and the State of Colorado v.
K.P. Kauffman Company, Inc., Civil
Action No. 1:18–cv–02559–RBJ.
The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief
and civil penalties for violations of the
Clean Air Act, the Colorado Air
Pollution Prevention and Control Act
(‘‘Colorado Act’’), Colorado’s federally
approved State Implementation Plan
(‘‘Colorado SIP’’), and Colorado Air
Quality Control Commission Regulation
Number 7 (‘‘Regulation No. 7’’) at
condensate tank systems (referred to in
the consent decree as ‘‘tank systems’’)
owned and operated by K.P. Kauffman
Company, Inc. (‘‘KPK’’) in the DenverJulesburg Basin in Colorado, an area
designated as non-attainment for the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
for ground-level ozone. The violations
relate to alleged failures to adequately
design, operate, and maintain vapor
control systems at the tank systems,
resulting in emissions of volatile organic
compounds (‘‘VOC’’) and other
pollutants to the atmosphere.
The proposed consent decree requires
KPK to implement injunctive relief at 67

Jkt 250001
condensate tank systems to ensure that
its vapor control systems adequately
capture and control potential VOC
emissions. The consent decree design,
inspection, and preventative
maintenance measures are intended to
result in substantial reductions in VOC
emissions from KPK tank systems
throughout Colorado’s Denver-Julesburg
Basin. In addition to injunctive relief,
the proposed Consent Decree requires
KPK to pay a $1 million civil penalty,
split evenly between the United States
and the State of Colorado, and to
undertake projects to mitigate
environmental harm. Entering into and
fully complying with the proposed
consent decree will release KPK from
past civil liability at the tank systems
and associated vapor control systems for
violations of the Colorado SIP and
Regulation No. 7 relating to VOC
emissions from condensate storage
tanks.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
consent decree. Comments should be
addressed to the Assistant Attorney
General, Environment and Natural
Resources Division, and should refer to
United States, et al. v. K.P. Kauffman
Company, Inc., D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2–1–
