BJS encourages comments for 60 days through April 14, 2023, on the proposed reinstatement, with change, of the BJS data collection: Annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC). Your comments on BJS?s request to the Office of Management and Budget, which is published in the Federal Register, should respond to one or more of the following:
- evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 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
- minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Alexis R. Piquero, PhD, is the director.
