Seventh Street NW, Washington, DC 20531 (email: 
[email protected]; telephone: (202-305-2667).

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 of the Police 
Public Contact Survey, with changes, a previously approved collection 
for which approval has expired.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 2018 Police Public Contact 
Survey.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number for the 
questionnaire is PPCS-1. 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 persons 16 years or older 
living in households located throughout the United States sampled for 
the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The PPCS will be 
conducted as a supplement to the NCVS in all sample households for a 
six (6) month period. The PPCS is one component of the BJS effort to 
fulfill the mandate set forth by the Violent Crime Control and Law 
Enforcement Act of 1994 to collect, evaluate, and publish data on the 
use of excessive force by law enforcement personnel. The goal of the 
collection is to report national statistics that provide a better 
understanding of the types, frequency, and outcomes of contacts between 
the police and the public, public perceptions of police behavior during 
the contact, and the conditions under which police force may be 
threatened or used. BJS plans to publish this information in reports 
and reference it when responding to queries from the U.S. Congress, 
Executive Office of the President, the U.S. Supreme Court, state 
officials, international organizations, researchers, students, the 
media, and others interested in criminal justices statistics.
    (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 118,714. About 80% of respondents 
(92,597) will have no police contact and will complete the short 
interview with an average burden of three minutes. Among the 20% of 
respondents (26,117) who experienced police contact, the time to ask 
the detailed questions regarding the nature of the contact is estimated 
to take an average of 10 minutes. Respondents will be asked to respond 
to this survey only once during the six month period. The burden 
estimate is based on data from prior administrations of the PPCS.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There is an estimated 8,983 total burden hours 
associated with this collection.

Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice, 
Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two 
Constitution Square, 145 N Street NE, 3E.405A, Washington, DC 20530.
