contact with the juvenile justice system
for an offense. This encompasses both
status offenses and delinquency
offenses, and includes youth who are
either temporarily detained by the court
or committed after adjudication for an
offense. The CJRP collects information
on the characteristics of the youth held
for an offense, including offense and
demographics, and information on their
placement, including adjudication
status and length of stay. The Juvenile
Residential Facility Census (JRFC),
which is administered biennially in the
years the CJRP is not administered,
collects information about how juvenile
facilities operate, the services they
provide, and staff training from all
secure and nonsecure residential
placement facilities that house persons
younger than 21 who are held for an
offense. The information gathered in
these national collections will be used
in published reports and statistics. The
reports will be made available to the
U.S. Congress, Executive Office of the
President, practitioners, researchers,
students, the media, others interested in
juvenile residential facilities, and the
general public via the OJP agency
websites. The two data collections are
being combined into a single clearance
packet because they are closely related
and designed to be complementary.
They are drawn from the same frame,
are administered to the same
respondents with identical eligibility
criteria, have the same reference day,
and use the same mode of collection.
The collection administrations are
deliberately sequenced and scheduled
for alternating years because of the
complementary nature of the
information and overlap in respondents.
Additionally, each collections’
imputation procedures rely upon
information from the other collection,
and for some longitudinal analyses, data
from both collections are combined to
produce published statistics.
5. Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
6. Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: The total estimated
respondents is 1,569 for each collection
for each year.
7. Estimated Time per Respondent: It
takes an average of 4 hours to complete
the CJRP. The total burden for the CJRP
is 6,844 hours. It takes an average of 2
hours to complete the JRFC. The total
burden for the JRFC is 3,422 hours.
8. Frequency: The CJRP and JRFC are
each administered biennially in
alternating years.
9. Total Estimated Annual Time
Burden: The average annual burden is
5,703 hours or 17,110 total hours for the
2025 CJRP, 2026 JRFC, and 2027 CJRP.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On August 6, 2024, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Consent
Decree with the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia in the
lawsuit entitled United States v.
Lawrence N. Brandt, Inc., Glenbrook
Limited Partnership, and American
University (Civil Action No. 1:24–CV–
02303).
The proposed Consent Decree
resolves claims set forth in the
Complaint against Lawrence N. Brandt,
Inc., Glenbrook Limited Partnership,
and American University for recovery of
costs pursuant to Sections 107(a) and
113 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607 and
9613, and related to the 4825 Glenbrook
Road Spring Valley Formerly Used
Defense Site (FUDS). The Site is a
residential parcel that previously
included a single-family, detached
home, located in the Spring Valley
residential community in northwest
Washington, DC. During World War I,
American University offered the United
States Government the use of its campus
to support the war effort against
Germany. Between 1917 and 1920, the
United States Government subsequently
used portions of the American
University campus to conduct the
research and development of chemical
warfare material (CWM), including
mustard and lewisite agents. Some of
the CWM-related material was buried at
various locations within the Spring
Valley FUDS, including the 4825
Glenbrook Road property (which was
later developed by Lawrence N. Brandt,
Inc. and Glenbrook Limited
Partnership). As a result, the United
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

States also is a responsible party in this
case.
Under the proposed settlement,
American University will pay $4
million, and Lawrence N. Brandt, Inc.
and Glenbrook Limited Partnership will
pay $750,000 in reimbursement for their
share of response costs related to the
Site. In return, the United States agrees
not to sue Defendants under section
107(a) of CERCLA for certain response
costs related to the Site, and Defendants
likewise agree not to sue the United
States with respect to certain response
costs. Because the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers handles all remediation work
related to the Spring Valley cleanup, no
response work is required of the
Defendants under the Consent Decree.
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 v. Lawrence N. Brandt,
Inc., Glenbrook Limited Partnership,
and American University (Civil Action
No. 1:24–CV–02303) and D.J. Ref. No.
