-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, will be submitting the following 
information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments 
especially on the estimated public burden or associated response time,

Erika Harrell, Statistician, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20531 (email: [email protected]; 
telephone: 202-307-0758).

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.

Overview of this information collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement of the Identity 
Theft Supplement, with changes, a previously approved collection for 
which approval has expired.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 2016/2018 Identity Theft 
Supplement
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number for the 
questionnaire is ITS-1. 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 be persons 16 years or older 
living in households located throughout the United States sampled for 
the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The ITS will be 
conducted as a supplement to the NCVS in all sample households for a 
six (6) month period. The ITS is primarily an effort to measure the 
prevalence of identity theft among persons, the characteristics of 
identity theft victims, and patterns of reporting to the police, credit 
bureaus, and other authorities. The ITS was also designed to collect 
important characteristics of identity theft such as how the victim's 
personal information was obtained; the physical, emotional and 
financial impact on victims; offender information; and the measures 
people take to avoid or minimize their risk of becoming an identity 
theft victim. BJS plans to publish this information in reports and 
reference it when responding to queries from the U.S. Congress, 
Executive Office of the President, the U.S. Supreme Court, state 
officials, international organizations, researchers, students, the 
media, and others interested in criminal justices statistics.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimate of 
the total number of respondents is 113,000. About 93% of respondents 
(101,090) will have no identity theft and will

[[Page 32611]]

complete the short interview with an average burden of five minutes. 
Among the 7% of respondents (7,910) who experienced at least one 
incident of identity theft, the time to ask the detailed questions 
regarding the aspects of the most recent incident of identity theft is 
estimated to take an average of 14 minutes. Respondents will be asked 
to respond to this survey only once during the six month period. The 
burden estimate is based on data from prior administrations of the ITS.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There is an estimated 10,227 total burden hours 
associated with this collection.
