The Department of Justice, Civil Division, intends to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a generic information collection clearance that will allow Civil to conduct a variety of surveys, focus groups, listening sessions and website content testing. Civil will submit request for review and approval to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Over the next three (3) years, Civil anticipates undertaking a variety of new surveys and data collections as well as reassessing ongoing elder justice website projects that address elder abuse and elder justice issues. This work will entail development of new survey instruments, redesigning and/or modifying existing surveys and creating or modifying established surveys. In order to inform Civil data collection protocols, to develop accurate estimates of respondent burden and to minimize respondent burden associated with each new or modified data collection, Civil will engage in pilot and field test activities to refine instrumentation and data collection methodologies. Civil envisions using a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to, tests of different types of survey and data collection operations, focus groups, pilot testing, exploratory interviews, questionnaires, usability testing and electronic data collection instruments. Following standard Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Requirements, Civil will submit a change request to OMB individually for every group of data collection activities undertaken under this generic clearance. Civil will provide OMB with a copy of the individual instruments or questionnaires (if one is used), as well as other materials describing the project.

instruments.
Following standard Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
