An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The 2023 and 2025 ASJ will collect data from approximately 940 jails (see table 1). For each data collection cycle, we estimate an average burden of 80 minutes for the updated survey form CJ–5. If needed, jail respondents will be contacted by email or telephone to verify data quality issues. We estimate that data quality follow-up is needed for 70% of the jails (658) in each cycle and will run an average of 10 minutes for each jail. In addition, we estimate that 10% of the jails (94) in each cycle will be contacted to verify point-of-contact information, which takes 5 minutes each on average. In total, the ASJ will incur a burden estimate of 1,371 hours, or 88 minutes per respondent, each year in 2023 and 2025. 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).
