AGENCY: Bureau of Justice Statistics, Department of Justice.

ACTION: 30-Day Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, will be submitting the following 
information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on Thursday, November 16, 
2017, allowing a 60-day comment period. Following publication of the 
60-day notice, the Bureau of Justice Statistics received three requests 
for the survey instrument and one communication containing general 
comments on the importance of the collection.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 30 days until 
March 19, 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 
Shelley S. Hyland, Statistician, Law Enforcement Statistics Unit, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street NW, Washington, DC 
20531 (email: [email protected]; phone: 202-616-1706). Written 
comments and/or suggestions can also be sent to the Office of 
Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Attention Department of Justice Desk Officer, Washington, DC 20503 or 
sent to [email protected].

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 whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice 
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, 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 can be enhanced; and
--Minimize 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: Reinstatement, with change, of 
a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 2018 Census of State and 
Local Law Enforcement Agencies (CSLLEA).
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is CJ-38. 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: Respondents will include all publicly-funded 
state, county, local and tribal law enforcement agencies in the United 
States that employ the equivalent of at least one full-time sworn 
officer with general arrest powers. Both general purpose agencies 
(i.e., any public agency with sworn officers whose patrol and 
enforcement responsibilities are primarily delimited by the boundaries 
of a municipal, county, or state government) and special purpose 
agencies (e.g., tribal, campus law enforcement, transportation, natural 
resources, etc.) meeting the above description will be asked to 
respond.
    Abstract: BJS has conducted the CSLLEA regularly since 1986. The 
2018 CSLLEA will be the seventh administration. Historically, the 
CSLLEA generates an enumeration of all publically funded state, county, 
local and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in the United 
States. The CSLLEA provides complete personnel counts and an overview 
of the functions performed for approximately 20,000 law enforcement 
agencies operating nationally.
    The 2018 CSLLEA collection involves two phases. In the first phase, 
BJS will cognitively test the revised instrument with 48 agencies based 
on agency type (i.e., local and county police, sheriff's office, or 
special purpose) and size (i.e., 100 or more full-time equivalent sworn 
officers or less than 100 full-time equivalent sworn officers). A 
maximum of 8 agencies of each type and size will participate in 
testing. BJS has reduced the number of items from the 2014 
administration but has included additional items on limited sworn 
officers. Additionally, BJS will continue to refine the universe frame 
by verifying agency in-service status, contact information and de-
duplicating agencies.
    Pending positive results from the first phase, in the second phase, 
BJS will conduct the main data collection. The 2018 CSLLEA is designed 
to collect general information on state, county, local and tribal law 
enforcement agencies. The survey asks about the level of government 
that operates the agency; total operating budget; full-time and part-
time personnel counts for fully sworn officers, limited sworn officers 
and non-sworn employees; gender and primary job responsibility of full-
time sworn officers; and the functions the agency performs on a regular 
or primary basis. Upon completion, the 2018 CSLLEA will serve as the 
sampling frame for future law enforcement surveys administered by BJS.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: For the 
cognitive testing, BJS is planning 48 agencies with an estimated total 
respondent burden of 90 minutes. For the full data collection, BJS 
estimates a maximum of 20,000 state, county, local and tribal law 
enforcement agencies with a respondent burden of about 45 minutes per 
agency, including the follow-up time.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated total respondent burden for the 
cognitive testing is 72 hours. The maximum respondent burden for the 
full data collection is approximately 15,000 burden hours. Therefore, 
total burden for both phases is approximately 15,072 burden hours.
