DATES: Comments are encourages and will be accepted for an additional

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments

Suzanne Strong, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh St. NW., 
Washington, DC 20531 (email: [email protected]; telephone: 
202-616-3666). Written comments and/or suggestions can also be sent to 
the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Attention Department of Justice Desk Officer, 
Washington, DC 20503 or sent to [email protected].

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 agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
--Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; 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, with change, to 
a previously approved collection (previous approval recalled to 
redesign the effort as a survey rather than a census).
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Survey of State and Local Law 
Enforcement Agencies Serving Tribal Lands/State and Local Justice 
Agencies Serving Tribal Lands.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department sponsoring the collection: Agency form number: No agency 
form number at this time. Sponsoring component: Department of Justice, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Respondents will be general purpose state and 
local law enforcement agencies (LEAs) that are responsible for policing 
tribal lands in the sixteen Public Law 280 (PL-280) states (Alaska, 
Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, 
Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, 
and Wisconsin). General purpose law enforcement agencies include state 
police departments, sheriff's offices, and local law enforcement 
agencies. The survey will also include village public safety 
coordinating officer (VPSO) non-profit coordinating agencies. Abstract: 
Among other responsibilities, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) 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 in PL-280 states. Specifically, the 
SSLLEASTL 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 respondents. 
Information requested includes the staffing and budgets of the state 
and local law enforcement agencies, the types of agreements state and 
local law enforcement agencies have with tribal governments, types of 
patrol services, traffic services, and detention services provided to 
tribal lands, information sharing between state and local law 
enforcement and tribal governments, training provided by state and 
local law enforcement to tribal law enforcement (including cross-
deputization agreements), training received by state and local law 
enforcement agencies on tribal jurisdiction, tribal law and tribal 
culture, and the number and types of incidents policed by state and 
local law enforcement agencies. This survey is the first of its kind to 
describe the role that state and local law enforcement play in policing 
crime 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/reply: The 
survey will be sent to 1,741 respondents. BJS expects an 80% response 
rate, or 1,393 total respondents. It is estimated that each respondent 
will take 1 hour to complete the form. An additional 30 minutes burden 
is estimated for nonresponse follow-up, as well as outreach to 
respondents that provided problematic data. The total burden per 
respondent is 90 minutes.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are an estimated 2,090 total burden hours 
associated with this collection.
