SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, will be submitting a request to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval of a 
revision to the National Crime Victimization Survey information 
collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 
proposed information collection, which is currently under OMB review, 
was previously published in the Federal Register on Monday, March 19, 
2018, allowing a 30-day comment period. The requested revision impacts 
the minimum age at which respondents will be administered questions on 
their sexual orientation and gender identity, raising the minimum age 
from 16 to 18. This revision, which will be implemented within 6 months 
of OMB approval, will not impact the burden hours associated with the 
previous 30-day request.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 30 days until 
May 11, 2018.

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 Jennifer Truman, Statistician, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street NW, Washington, DC 
20531 (email: [email protected]; telephone: 202-514-5083).

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 the impact of the change on the functioning of the Bureau of 
Justice Statistics;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information,

[[Page 15635]]

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 will be impacted by the change; and
--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: Revision of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: National Crime Victimization 
Survey.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number for the 
questionnaire impacted by the modification is NCVS-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: The National Crime Victimization Survey 
(NCVS) collects, analyzes, publishes, and disseminates statistics on 
criminal victimization and the context of criminal victimization in the 
U.S. The NCVS is administered to persons 12 years or older living in 
sampled households located throughout the US.
    Since July 2016, self-report data on sexual orientation and gender 
identity have been collected from all sampled persons age 16 or older. 
Within six months of OMB approval of this requested change, the single 
question on sexual orientation and two part question on gender identity 
(sex at birth and current gender) will no longer be administered to 
respondents ages 16 and 17. The minimum age for these questions will be 
raised to 18 due to concerns about the potential sensitivity of these 
questions for adolescents.
    BJS plans to publish information from the NCVS 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 justice statistics.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The requested 
revision will not impact the estimated survey burden or the annual 
number of respondents. The estimated annual number of respondents is 
130,707. It will take the average interviewed respondent an estimated 
25 minutes to respond; the average non-interviewed respondent an 
estimated 7 minutes to respond; the average follow-up interview is 
estimated at 15 minutes, and the average follow-up for a non-interview 
is estimated at 1 minute.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The requested revision will not change the annual 
burden hours. There are an estimated 120,810 annual burden hours 
associated with this collection.
