Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, without changes,
of a
[[Page 27986]]
previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Annual Probation Survey and
Annual Parole Survey.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The Annual Surveys of
Probation and Parole (ASPP) contain three forms: CJ-7: Annual Parole
Survey CJ-8: Annual Probation Survey and CJ-8M: Annual Probation Survey
(Misdemeanant Supervision Only). The applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), in the
Office of Justice Programs. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)
requests clearance to conduct the Annual Surveys of Probation and
Parole (ASPP) for a three-year period.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as the obligation to respond: Affected Public Respondents will
include state departments of corrections or state probation and parole
authorities, and city and county courts and probation offices for which
a central reporting authority does not exist. For the CJ-7 form, the
affected public consists of 52 respondents including 50 central
reporters, the District of Columbia, and one additional state reporter
responsible for keeping records of adult on parole supervision. For the
CJ-8 form, the affected public includes 229 reporters including central
state respondents, the District of Columbia, and local authorities
responsible for keeping records on individuals on probation
supervision. For the CJ-8M form, the affected public includes 548
reporters who are all local authorities responsible for keeping records
on individuals on probation supervision for a misdemeanant. These
reporters indicated they do not supervise any individual on probation
for a felony offense and will answer a short survey on population
totals.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: BJS estimates
approximately 829 community correctional agencies will complete the
ASPP forms CJ-7, CJ-8, or CJ-8M. The estimated time for each respondent
is 140 minutes for the CJ-7, 165 minutes for the CJ-8 and 30 minutes
for the CJ-8M total including contact verification, survey completion,
and data quality follow-up. The burden estimate is based on the
paradata BJS collected from the 2024 administration of the ASPP.
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The burden hours will be approximately 1,025 hours
total for all agencies per year and 3,075 hours total for all agencies
over the course of three years.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: $559,000.
