Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Survey of Sexual
Victimization [formerly the Survey of Sexual Violence].
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form numbers for the
questionnaire are SSV-1, SSV-2, SSV-3, SSV-4, SSV-5, SSV-6, SSV-IA, and
SSV-IJ. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is
the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office of Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: State, Local, or Tribal Government
correctional facilities. Other: Federal Government and businesses
(privately operated correctional institutions, both for-profit and not-
for-profit). The data will be used to develop national estimates of the
incidence and prevalence of sexual assault within correctional
facilities, as well as characteristics of substantiated incidents, as
required under the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108-
79).
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimate of
the total number of respondents is 1,581 adult and juvenile
correctional systems and facilities. (This estimate assumes a response
rate of 100%.) Federal and state correctional systems for adults and
juveniles (102 respondents) will each take an estimated 60 minutes to
complete the summary form; local, military, Immigrations and Customs
Enforcement, tribal, and privately operated facilities (1,479
respondents) will each take an estimated 30 minutes to complete the
summary form; and incident forms (an estimated 3,000 incident forms
will be completed each year, one for each incident that was
substantiated) will take about 30 minutes per form. The burden
estimates are based on data from the prior administration of the SSV.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There is an estimated 2,342 total burden hours per
year associated with this collection, with a combined total of 7,026
for the three years.
