    (1) Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change, of 
a previously approved collection for which approval has expired: 2018 
Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA). The 2018 CLETA 
will focus on the same topics as the 2013 collection: The number and 
type of law enforcement agencies served by academies, the academies' 
accreditation status, oversight responsibilities related to field 
training, reasons for recruits failing to complete their training 
program, and subject areas covered in the training program curricula. 
While there will be no content changes, BJS will modify the format and 
design of several survey items to improve measurement and remove 
questions from the 2013 survey that covered topics that may no longer 
be relevant.
