Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
(check justification or form 83):
Extension without change of a currently
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Inventories: Licensed Explosives
Importers, Manufacturers, Dealers, and
Permittees.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
Form number (if applicable): None.
Component: Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, U.S.
Department of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Primary: Businesses or other forprofit.
Other (if applicable): None.
Abstract: The information collection
entitled Inventories: Licensed
Explosives Importers, Manufacturers,
Dealers, and Permittees, requires that
persons engaged in the explosives

5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 9,433
respondents will respond to this
collection annually, and it will take
each respondent approximately 2 hours
to provide their responses.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated annual public
burden associated with this collection is
18,866 hours, which is equal to 9,433 (#
of responses) * 1 (# of responses per
respondent) * 2 (total time in hours to
respond to this IC).
7.An Explanation of the Change in
Estimates: The adjustment associated
with this collection is a decrease in the
number of respondents by 483 and a
decrease in the total burden hours by
966, since the last renewal in 2017. The
recalculated burden hours for this
collection corresponds with the fact that
each respondent responds only once,
and now take 2 hours, instead of 1 hour
to complete their responses.

Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a
previously approved collection.

2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
National Inmate Survey in Prisons (NIS–
4P).
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
There is no agency form number at this
time. The applicable component within
the Department of Justice is the Bureau
of Justice Statistics, in the Office of
Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Respondents will primarily be
State, Local, or Tribal Government
entities. The work under this clearance
will be used to produce estimates for the
incidence and prevalence of sexual
victimization within correctional
facilities as required under the Prison
Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (Pub. L.
108–79). The Bureau of Justice Statistics
uses this information in published
reports and for the U.S. Congress,
Executive Office of the President,
practitioners, researchers, students, the
media, and others interested in criminal
justice statistics.
In 2003, the Prison Rape Elimination
Act (PREA or the Act) was signed into
law. The Act requires BJS to ‘‘carry out,
for each calendar year, a comprehensive
statistical review and analysis of the
incidence and effects of prison rape.’’
The Act further instructs BJS to collect
survey data: ‘‘. . . the Bureau shall . . .
use surveys and other statistical studies
of current and former inmates . . .’’
To implement the Act, BJS developed
the National Prison Rape Statistics
Program (NPRS), which includes four
separate data collection efforts: The
Survey on Sexual Violence (SSV), the
National Inmate Survey (NIS), the
National Survey of Youth in Custody
(NSYC), and the National Former
Prisoner Survey (NFPS). The NIS
collects information on sexual
victimization self-reported by inmates
held in adult correctional facilities, both
prisons and jails. The NIS has been
conducted three times, in 2007 (NIS–1),
in 2008–09 (NIS–2), and in 2011–12
(NIS–3). Each iteration of NIS was
conducted in at least one facility in all
50 states and the District of Columbia.
In each iteration of the survey, inmates
completed the survey using an audio
computer-assisted self-interview
(ACASI), whereby they heard questions
and instructions via headphones and
responded to the survey items via a
touch-screen interface.
The collection requested in this notice
is the fourth iteration of the National
Inmate Survey. For NIS–4,
administration of the survey in prisons
will take place separately from survey
administration in jails. This collection
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:05 May 08, 2020
Jkt 250001
request is specific to conducting the
survey in adult prison facilities.
The survey instrument for the NIS–4
in Prisons is slightly modified from the
previous iterations. The main difference
is the addition of a new set of incidentspecific questions administered to
respondents who affirmatively indicate
they were sexually victimized at some
point in the previous 12 months while
housed in their current prison facility.
These incident-specific questions will
provide information to the public on the
nature of sexual victimization in
prisons, such as where incidents
occurred within the facility, the
relationship between the victim and the
alleged perpetrator(s), and whether the
victim suffered any injuries as a result
of the incident, among other incident
characteristics.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: Prior to data collection
commencing in 2021, BJS will
coordinate the logistics of NIS–4 survey
administration with staff at state, local,
and tribal correction facilities. Because
the administration of this survey in jails
is not included in this request, the
overall number of burden hours is lower
than in the last request approved in
2010. It is estimated that 246 facility
respondents will devote 150 minutes of
time to this coordination effort. During
data collection in 2021, an estimated
77,699 state, local, and tribal adult
inmates held in prisons will be
interviewed, with the average interview
lasting an estimated 35 minutes.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: This collection was
previously approved for implementation
in both adult prisons and jails. The
current request will only be
implemented in adult prisons, thereby
reducing the total number of facility
staff and respondents required to
participate. The total estimated NIS–4 in
Prisons public burden, inclusive of
facility staff and respondent burden
estimates and assuming a 100%
response rate, is 78,810 hours. This
comprises 19,906 hours of facility staff
burden (coordinating the
administration, completing the facility
questionnaire, and escorting inmates to
and from the interviews) and 58,904
hours of respondent interviewing
burden. The third iteration of NIS had
around a 65% response rate, so the true
burden will likely be much lower.
