SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

--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.

    Abstract: The Leadership Engagement Survey (LES) is an internal, 
agency-wide survey which provides a way for employees, contractors, and 
TFOs to share honest feedback about their leaders and the 
organizational climate of their division. Survey responses are 
anonymous, and numerical results will only be shared in the aggregate 
and identifying information is removed from comments. Climate data 
provides valuable insight for action planning while the leadership 
results guide professional development.
