Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change, of 
a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 2018 Census of Law 
Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA).
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the

[[Page 53110]]

Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is CJ-52. The 
applicable component within the Department of Justice that is 
sponsoring this collection is the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office 
of Justice Programs.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: This information collection is a census of 
regional, state, and local law enforcement training academies that 
operated a basic training program in 2018. The 2018 survey builds upon 
the previous three iterations of the CLETA data collection referencing 
2013, 2006, and 2002. BJS plans to field the 2018 CLETA from January 
through August 2019. The information will provide national statistics 
on staff, recruits/trainees, curricula, facilities, and policies of law 
enforcement training academies.
    Abstract: 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.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: A projected 950 
respondents will take an average of 2 hours each to complete form CJ-
52, including time to research or find information not readily 
available. In addition, an estimated 570 of the respondents will be 
contacted for data quality follow-up by phone at 10 minutes per call.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are an estimated 1,995 total burden hours 
associated with this information collection.
