abstract: Primary: 50 state departments of corrections (DOCs) and 7 
parole supervising agencies (in six states and the District of 
Columbia). The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) is the 
only national data collection furnishing annual individual-level 
information for state prisoners at five points in the incarceration 
process: Prison admission, prison release, annual year-end prison 
custody census, entry to post-custody community corrections 
supervision, and exits from post-custody community corrections 
supervision. BJS, the U.S. Congress, researchers, and criminal justice 
practitioners use these data to describe annual movements of adult 
offenders through state correctional systems, as well as to examine 
long-term trends in time served in prison, demographic and offense 
characteristics of inmates, sentencing practices in the states that 
submit data, transitions between incarceration and community 
corrections, and recidivism. Providers of the data are personnel in the 
states' Departments of Corrections and Parole, and all data are 
submitted on a voluntary basis. The NCRP collects the following 
administrative data on each inmate in participating states' custody:

 County of sentencing
 State and federal inmate identification numbers
 Dates of: Birth, prison admission, prison release, projected 
prison release, mandatory prison release, eligibility hearing for post-
custody community corrections supervision, post-custody community 
corrections supervision entry, post-custody community corrections 
supervision exit
 First, middle, and last names
 Demographic information: Sex, race, Hispanic origin, education 
level, prior military service, date and type of last discharge from 
military
 Offense type and number of counts per inmate for a maximum of 
three convicted offenses per inmate
 Total sentence length imposed
 Type of facility where inmate is serving sentence (for year-
end custody census records only, the name of the facility is also 
requested)
 Type of prison admission
 Type of prison release
 Location of post-custody community supervision exit or post-
custody community supervision office (post-custody community 
supervision records only)
 Social security number
 Address of last residence prior to incarceration
 Prison security level at which the inmate is held

    For consideration, BJS is proposing to add the following items to 
the NCRP collection, all of which are likely available from the same 
databases as existing data elements and should likely pose minimal 
additional burden to the respondents, while enhancing BJS' ability to 
characterize the corrections systems and populations it serves:

 Status of current U.S. citizenship
 Country of current citizenship
 Country of birth

    Finally, BJS is proposing to remove the following 7 items from the 
NCRP collection, based on a combination of low response rates (less 
than 50% of states) and/or high levels of missing data (30% or higher 
missing) among states that do respond:

 Prior prison time served by the offender
 Additional offenses since admission date
 Additional sentence time since admission date
 Whether the offender was on AWOL or escape while serving 
sentences
 Whether the offender was serving time concurrently on 
community release prior to prison release
 The number of days on community release prior to prison 
release served by the offender
 Offender's supervision status prior to release from post-
custody community supervision

    BJS uses the information gathered in NCRP in published reports and 
statistics. The reports will be made available to the U.S. Congress, 
Executive Office of the President, practitioners, researchers, 
students, the media, others interested in criminal justice statistics, 
and the general public via the BJS website.
    BJS received 3 comments to its 60-day Federal Register Notice 
(https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/07/09/2018-14599/agency-information-collection-activities-proposed-ecollection-ecomments-requested-extension-of-a). Responses to these comments will 
be included in the final clearance package submitted to OMB and 
available at the NCRP page on www.reginfo.gov (https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAOMBHistory?ombControlNumber=1121-0065).
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: BJS anticipates 
57 respondents to NCRP by 2021: 50 state DOC respondents and seven 
separate parole supervising agencies (in six states and the District of 
Columbia). Burden hours for the three collection years (2019-2021) 
differ based on whether a state has previously submitted NCRP prison 
and PCCS data in recent years. All 50 DOCs have recently submitted NCRP 
prison data, but currently, only 32 DOCs have submitted PCCS data in 
the last four years.

Burden Hours for Prison Records (NCRP-1A, NCRP-1B, NCRP-1D)

    All 50 DOCs have recently submitted NCRP prison data, so the 
average time needed to continue providing prison data is expected to be 
8 hours per respondent for both prisoner admissions and releases (NCRP-
1A and NCRP-1B) and 8 hours for data on persons in prison at year-end 
(NCRP-1D). For 2019, the total burden estimate of 16 hours per DOC for 
these three record types is increased by 45 minutes from the previous 
NCRP OMB submission, to account for the addition and removal of 
variables from states' extract programs (a 30 minute increase to add 
citizenship questions to NCRP-1A and NCRP-1D, and a 15 minute increase 
to remove the 7 variables). The total amount of time estimated for 50 
DOCs to submit NCRP-A, -B, and -D records in 2019 is 837.5 hours (16.75 
hours * 50 = 837.5 hours).

    In 2020 and 2021, BJS expects to have all 50 DOCs providing NCRP 
prison data. The burden for provision of the NCRP prison data will 
decrease to 14 hours per respondent due to the removal of the 7 items 
(7 hours for the prison admission and release records combined, and 7 
hours for the year-end custody records), for a total of 700 hours 
annually for the 50 DOCs in 2020 and 2021 (14 hours * 50 = 700 hours).

Burden Hours for PCCS Records (NCRP-1E, NCRP-1F)

    There are currently 37 jurisdictions submitting PCCS data (32 DOCs 
and 5 parole boards), and BJS estimates that extraction and submission 
of both the PCCS entries and exits takes an average of 8 hours per 
jurisdiction. In 2019, BJS anticipates that 8 additional DOCs and one 
parole supervising agency (likely the District of Columbia) will submit 
data, with the burden for each new jurisdiction being 24 hours to set 
up extraction programs and make the submission. Thus, the burden for 
PCCS records is 296 hours for those already submitting (8 hours * 37 = 
296 hours), and 216 hours for new submissions (24 hours * 9 = 216). The 
total amount of time for all PCCS submissions in 2019 is 512 hours.
    In 2020, BJS hope to recruit an additional 2 DOCs and the remaining 
parole supervising agency to submit NCRP PCCS data. The total estimate 
for submission of PCCS for new jurisdictions in 2020 is 72 hours (24

[[Page 47371]]

hours * 3 = 72 hours). For those 40 DOCs and 6 parole boards currently 
responding, provision of the PCCS data in 2020 will total 368 hours (8 
hours * 46 = 368 hours). The total amount of time for all PCCS 
submissions in 2020 is 440 hours.
    Similarly, BJS hopes that the remaining 2 DOCs will submit PCCS 
data for the first time in 2021. The remaining non-reporting DOCs would 
need a total of 48 hours to create data extraction programs and begin 
data submission (24 hours * 2 = 48 hours). Those jurisdictions (42 DOCs 
and 7 parole supervising agencies) who provided NCRP PCCS data in 2020 
will require 392 hours total to do the same in 2021 (8 hours * 49 = 392 
hours). The total amount of time for all PCCS submissions in 2021 is 
440 hours.

Burden Hours for Data Review/Follow-Up Consultations

    Follow-up consultations with respondents are usually necessary 
while processing the data to obtain further information regarding the 
definition, completeness and accuracy of their report. The duration of 
these follow-up consultations will vary based on the number of record 
types submitted, so BJS has estimated an average of 3 hours per 
jurisdiction to cover all of the records (prison and/or PCCS) 
submitted. In 2019, BJS anticipates that one of the two parole 
supervising agencies not currently submitting PCCS data will begin to 
submit, so the number of jurisdictions requiring follow-up 
consultations is 51 (50 DOCs submitting at least the prison data, and 
one parole supervising agency submitting only PCCS data). This yields a 
total of 153 hours of follow-up consultation after submission (3 hours 
* 51 = 153 hours).
    This total estimate of 153 hours for data review/follow-up 
consultations remains the same for 2020 and 2021.

Total Burden Hours for Submitting NCRP Data

    BJS anticipates that the total burden for provision and data 
follow-up of all NCRP data across the participating jurisdictions in 
2019 is 1,502.5 hours (837.5 hours for prison records, 512 hours for 
PCCS records, and 153 hours for follow-up consultation). This is 
equivalent to roughly 29 hours per respondent. The total annual burden 
for provision and follow-up of NCRP data in 2020 and 2021 is 
anticipated to be 1,293 hours (700 hours for prison records, 440 hours 
for PCCS records, and 153 hours for follow-up consultation).
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are an estimated 1,502.5 total burden hours 
associated with this collection in 2019, and 1,293 hours in both 2020 
and 2021.
