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: This request for clearance enables the National Institute
of Justice, in collaboration with the Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention, to administer the 2027 Juvenile Facility Census
Program (JFCP). 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 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 this
national collection 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.
