Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: National Standards to Prevent, 
Detect, and Respond to Prison Rape (28 CFR part 115).
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: There is no form number 
associated with this information collection. The applicable component 
within the Department of Justice is the Bureau of Justice Assistance, 
in the Office of Justice Programs.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: On June 20, 2012, the Department of Justice 
published a Final Rule to adopt national standards to prevent, detect, 
and respond to sexual abuse in confinement settings pursuant to the 
Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA) 42 U.S.C. 15601 et seq. 
These national standards, which went into effect on August 20, 2012, 
require covered facilities to retain certain specified information 
relating to sexual abuse prevention planning, responsive planning, 
education and training, investigations and to collect and retain 
certain specified information relating to allegations of sexual abuse 
within the facility. Covered facilities include: Federal, state, and 
local jails, prisons, lockups, community correction facilities, and 
juvenile facilities, whether administered by such government or by a 
private organization on behalf of such government. As the agency 
responsible for PREA implementation on behalf of the U.S. Department of 
Justice, the Bureau of Justice Assistance within the Office of Justice 
Programs is submitting this request to extend a currently approved 
collection.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements established by the PREA standards are based 
on incidents of sexual abuse. An estimated 13,119 covered facilities 
nationwide are required to comply with the PREA standards. If all 
covered facilities were to fully comply with all of the PREA standards, 
the new burden hours associated with the staff time that would be 
required to collect and maintain the information and records required 
by the standards would be approximately 1.16 million in the first year 
of full compliance, or about 89 hours per facility.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated public burden hours associated with 
this collection is 1.16 million in the first year of full compliance, 
or about 89 hours per facility.
    If additional information is required contact: Jerri Murray, 
Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice, 
Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two
