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

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 
February 6, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments 
especially on the estimated public burden or associated response time, 
suggestions, or need a copy of the proposed information collection 
instrument with instructions or additional information, please contact 
Ramona Rantala, Statistician, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20531 (email: [email protected]; 
telephone: 202-307-6170).

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: Extension of currently approved 
collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Survey of Sexual 
Victimization (formerly the Survey of Sexual Violence).
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form numbers for the 
questionnaires are SSV-1, SSV-2, SSV-3, SSV-4, SSV-5, SSV-6, SSV-IA, 
and SSV-IJ. 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: Primary: State, Local, or Tribal Government. 
Other: Federal Government and business (privately operated correctional 
institutions, both for-profit and not-for-profit). The data will be 
used to develop estimates for the incidence and prevalence of sexual 
assault within correctional facilities, as well as characteristics of 
substantiated incidents, as required under the Prison Rape Elimination 
Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-79).
    (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 1,538 adult and juvenile systems and 
facilities. (This estimate assumes a response rate of 100%.) Federal 
and state systems for adults and juveniles (102 respondents) will take 
an estimated 60 minutes to complete the summary form; local and 
privately operated facilities (1,426 respondents) will take an 
estimated 30 minutes to complete the summary form; and each incident 
form (we estimate about 2,000 incident forms will be completed, one for 
each incident that was substantiated) will take about 30 minutes. The 
annual burden estimates are based on data from the prior administration 
of the SSV.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The annual total burden hours associated with this 
collection is estimated to be 1,815.
