responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a Currently Approved
Collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
National Inmate Survey in Jails (NIS–
4J).
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 or Local 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
responded to the survey items via a
touchscreen interface.
The collection requested in this notice
is the fourth iteration of the National
Inmate Survey in Jails. For NIS–4,
administration of the survey in prisons
will take place separately from survey
administration in jails. This collection
request is specific to conducting the
survey in adult jail facilities.
BJS submitted this collection for
approval in summer 2022. Since then,
changes have been made to several
items in the collection. The main
differences include editing of items in
the ACASI survey and facility
questionnaire, removal of items from the
facility questionnaire, editing of
sampling plan, and editing of consent
forms and scripts.
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 2023, BJS will
coordinate the logistics of NIS–4 survey
administration with staff at jail
facilities. It is estimated that 290 facility
respondents will devote 150 minutes of
time to this coordination effort, not
including staff escort time. During data
collection in 2023, jail staff will escort
an estimated 65,360 jail inmates to/from
the interviews, which consists of a short
consent administration and an
approximately 35-minute survey.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated NIS–4
Jails public burden, inclusive of facility
staff and respondent burden estimates,
is 64,010 hours. This comprises 17,065
hours of facility staff burden and 46,945
hours of respondent interviewing
burden. This burden estimate assumes
100% participation from both facilities
and inmates, but historically both
facility and inmate participation have
not reached 100%. For purposes of
comparison, during Year 3 of the NIS,
the total maximum burden was
estimated at 68,078 hours for the jail
sample. The total burden used was
33,022 hours.

The White House issued Executive
Order 14008, Tackling the Climate
Crisis at Home and Abroad, resulting in
part, in the Council on Environmental
Quality and a White House advisory
committee focused on serving
environmental justice communities. The
policy of the Administration is to secure

communities that have been historically
marginalized and overburdened,
including places that have suffered as a
result of economic shifts and places that
have suffered the most from persistent
pollution, including low-income rural
and urban communities, communities of
color, and Native communities. At the
Department we refer to the individuals
in such communities as disadvantaged
workers.
The Department provides a range of
services that seeks to assist and improve
the overall job quality for disadvantaged
workers, through job search, training,
income maintenance, worker
empowerment, safety and health
protections, and other worker
protections. The Department is
interested in learning about potential
approaches and gathering feedback to
improving services for the economically
disadvantaged. In this session, the
Department will seek public input on
what are the greatest needs and/or
barriers facing disadvantaged and/or
environmentally-impacted communities
as it relates to employment, worker
protections, and worker rights.
