Your comments to BJS's request to the Office of Management and Budget, published in the?Federal Register, should address points such as?
- whether the proposed data collection is necessary, including whether the information will have practical utility
- the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of data, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
- whether and how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced
- the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques.
BJS?s?Capital Punishment?data collection provides data on national and state-level year-end counts of persons sentenced to death and executed.
