DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for two
(2) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three

requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive a month-to-

Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision to currently approved
collection.
2. Title of the Form/Collection: Juvenile Facility Census Program
(JFCP).
3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: The form numbers are
CJ-14 (Youth Characteristics Module) and CJ-15 (Facility Operations
Module). The applicable components within the Department of Justice are
the National Institute of Justice and the Office of Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention, in the Office of Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: State, local and tribal governments,

Abstract: This request for clearance of the Juvenile Facility
Census Program (JFCP) will combine two previously, separately cleared
data collections: the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement
(CJRP, OMB # 1121-0218) and the Juvenile Residential Facility Census
(JRFC, OMB # 1121-0219). The JFCP collects information from all secure
and nonsecure residential placement facilities that house persons
younger than age 21 who are being held as a result of some contact with
the juvenile justice system for a law violation. This encompasses both
status offenses and delinquency offenses and includes youth who are
either temporarily detained by the court or committed after
adjudication for an offense. The JFCP consolidates the content of the
CJRP and JRFC into a single, unified program. It collects general
information on facility characteristics and the number of youth housed,
and includes two rotating content modules that are administered
separately during a two-year collection cycle: the Youth Population
module and the Facility Operations module. The Youth Population module
collects detailed information on individual youth housed in facilities,
including demographic details, placement characteristics, and length of
stay. The Facility Operations module collects information on resident
services, facility features, and operations. The information gathered
in these national collections will be used in published reports and
statistics. The reports will be made available to the U.S. Congress,
Executive Office of the President, practitioners, researchers,
students, the media, others interested in juvenile residential
facilities, and the general public via the OJP agency websites. The two
data collections are being consolidated the attain cost savings and
reduce respondent burden.
5. Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
6. Total Estimated Number of Respondents: The total estimated
respondents is 1,636 for each module for each year.
7. Estimated Time per Respondent: It takes an average of 6 hours to
complete the JFCP. The total burden is 9,816, including the two
rotating content modules that are administered separately during a two-
year collection cycle. The Youth Characteristics module takes an
average of 4 hours to complete. The total burden for the Youth
Characteristics module is 6,544 hours. The Facility Operations module
takes an average of 2 hours to complete. The total burden for the
Facility Operations module is 3,272 hours.
8. Frequency: The JFCP is a biennial data collection with two
content modules administered separately during a two-year collection
cycle.
9. Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: The average annual burden is
4,908 or 9,816 total hours for the two-year collection cycle.
10. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: The estimated annual
cost for JFCP is $1,142,115. The estimated cost for one collection
cycle is $2,284,230.
