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 Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 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.
Abstract: The proposed generic information collection clearance
will enable the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), on behalf of the
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), to
develop, test, and improve its survey and data collection instruments
and methodologies. NIJ will engage in cognitive, pilot, and field test
activities to inform its data collection efforts and to minimize
respondent burden associated with each new or modified data collection.
NIJ anticipates using a variety of procedures including, but not
limited to, tests of various types of survey and data collection
operations,

NIJ will submit an individual request to OMB for every group of data
collection activities undertaken under this generic clearance. NIJ will
provide OMB with a copy of the individual instruments or questionnaires
