SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs,

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 21, 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

Suzanne Strong, Statistician, Prosecution and Judicial Statistics, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street NW., Washington, DC 
20531 (email: [email protected]; telephone: 202-616-3666).

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: New collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: State and Local Justice 
Agencies Serving PL-280 Tribal Lands (SLJASTL): Survey of State and 
Local Prosecutor Offices Serving PL-280 Tribal Lands (SSLPOSTL)
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: No agency form number at this 
time. 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 state and local prosecutor offices located in 
the sixteen Public Law 280 (PL-280) states. Abstract: Among other 
responsibilities, the Bureau of Justice Statistics is charged with 
collecting data regarding crimes occurring on tribal lands. The SLJASTL 
is the first effort by BJS to include state and local justice agencies 
responsible for policing and prosecuting crimes that occur on tribal 
lands. Specifically, the SSLPOSTL will collect information that will 
help fill the gaps we have in our understanding of the nature of crime 
on tribal lands. There are two survey instruments: One for Alaska and 
one for the remaining fifteen PL-280 states. The data collection 
instruments are designed to capture administrative, operational and 
caseload data from prosecutor offices that investigate and prosecute 
crimes that occur on tribal lands in PL-280 states. The information 
collected includes the staffing and budget of the prosecutor office, 
the types of agreements prosecutor offices have with tribal 
governments, where prosecutors try crimes occurring on tribal lands 
(i.e., in tribal or state courts), non-prosecutorial services provided 
on tribal lands (such

[[Page 94421]]

as victim services and community outreach services), information 
sharing with tribal governments, training received by prosecutors about 
tribal lands, joint training opportunities with state prosecutors and 
tribes, and the number and types of referrals to and cases prosecuted 
by state prosecutors. This survey is the first of its kind to describe 
the role that state and local prosecutor offices play in charging and 
prosecuting crimes that occur on tribal lands in PL-280 states.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An agency-level 
survey will be sent to approximately 460 offices, including a full 
census of prosecutor offices in counties with tribal lands 
(approximately 210) and a sample of prosecutor offices in counties 
without tribal lands (approximately 250 of the remaining 520). The 
expected burden placed on these respondents is about 70 minutes per 
respondent, including follow-up time.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total respondent burden is approximately 510 
burden hours.

Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice, 
Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two
