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. Title of the Form/Collection: 2023 National Census of Victim
Service Providers (NCVSP).
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: There is no form
number for the questionnaire. The applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), in the
Office of Justice Programs. BJS requests clearance for the 2023 NCVSP
under OMB Control No. 1121-0355. The NCVSP was last approved under OMB
Control No. 1121-0355 (exp. date 05/31/2019).
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Programs and organizations that have been
identified as providing services to victims of crime or abuse will be
asked to respond.
The 2023 NCVSP will be the second administration of this data
collection. The NCVSP provides national data on all programs and
organizations that served victims of crime or abuse within the year
prior to the survey. The NCVSP identifies the size and scope of the
victim service provider (VSP) field, including the number of VSPs,
where they are located, the number of victims they serve, and
information about funding and staffing. Information from the NCVSP
provides a sampling frame for follow-up surveys on victim service
providers, including BJS's National Survey of Victim Service Providers.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Similar to the
2017 NCVSP, the first administration of the NCVSP, about 15% of the
20,000 VSPs on the current roster will no longer be in operation, will
have stopped providing services to crime victims, or will be allied
organizations that do not themselves directly assist victims. For those
3,000 out-of-scope organizations, the burden will be less than 5
minutes. For the remaining 17,000 active victim service providers, it
will take the average interviewed respondent an estimated 30 minutes to
respond. There are an estimated 8,750 total burden hours associated
with this information collection. These estimates are based on previous
estimates of item burden and input received from participants in the
2023 NCVSP cognitive testing procedures (generic OMB clearance, Control
No. 1121-0339).

Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice,
Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two
Constitution Square, 145 N Street NE, 4W-218, Washington, DC 20530.
