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

Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street NW., Washington, DC 
20531 (email: [email protected]; phone: 202-616-1706).

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, with change, of 
a previously approved collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 2018 Census of State and 
Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA).
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is CJ-38. The 
applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau of 
Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Respondents will include all publicly-funded 
state, county and local law enforcement agencies in the United States 
that employ the equivalent of at least one full-time sworn officer with 
general arrest powers. Both general purpose agencies (i.e., any public 
agency with sworn officers whose patrol and enforcement 
responsibilities are primarily delimited by the boundaries of a 
municipal, county, or state government) and special purpose agencies 
(e.g., campus law enforcement, transportation, natural resources, etc.) 
meeting the above description will be asked to respond.
    Abstract: BJS has conducted the CSLLEA regularly since 1992. The 
2018 CSLLEA will be the seventh administration. Historically, the 
CSLLEA generates an enumeration of all publically funded state, county 
and local law enforcement agencies operating in the United States. The 
CSLLEA provides complete personnel counts and an overview of the 
functions performed for approximately 20,000 law enforcement agencies 
operating nationally.
    The 2018 CSLLEA collection involves two phases. In the first phase, 
BJS will cognitively test the revised instrument with 48 agencies based 
on agency type (i.e., local and county police, sheriff's office, or 
special purpose) and size (i.e., 100 or more full-time equivalent sworn 
officers or less than 100 full-time equivalent sworn officers). A 
maximum of 8 agencies of each type and size will be asked to 
participate in testing. BJS has reduced the number of items from the 
2014 administration but has included additional items on limited sworn 
officers. Additionally, BJS will continue to refine the universe frame 
by verifying agency in-service status, contact information and de-
duplicating agencies.
    Pending positive results from the first phase, in the second phase, 
BJS will conduct the main data collection. The 2018 CSLLEA is designed 
to collect general information on state, county and local law 
enforcement agencies. The survey asks about the level of government 
that operates the agency; total operating budget; full-time and part-
time personnel counts for fully sworn officers, limited sworn officers 
and non-sworn employees; gender and primary job responsibility of full-
time sworn officers; and the functions the agency performs on a regular 
or primary basis. Upon completion, the 2018 CSLLEA will serve as the 
sampling frame for future law enforcement surveys administered by BJS.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: For the 
cognitive testing, BJS is planning 48 agencies with an estimated total 
respondent burden of 90 minutes. For the full data collection, BJS 
estimates a maximum of 20,000 state, county and local law enforcement 
agencies with a respondent burden of about 45 minutes per agency, 
including the follow-up time.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated total respondent burden for the 
cognitive testing is 72 hours. The maximum respondent burden for the 
full data collection is approximately 15,000 burden hours. Therefore, 
total burden for both phases is approximately 15,072 burden hours.
