Justification for change

To Whom It May Concern:

RE: OJJDP NTTAC Evaluation forms – OMB Control # 1121-0277

The Office for Justice Programs operates two separate training and technical assistance centers under one umbrella contract: Office for Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center (OVC TTAC) and Office for Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention National Training and Technical Assistance Centers (OJJDP NTTAC). The contract was awarded in 2006 and in 2007, OJJDP NTTAC and OVC TTAC jointly sought approval for all evaluation feedback forms. These forms were primarily customer satisfaction forms for training and technical assistance events including in-person events and technology facilitated events along with a website satisfaction form, a focus group guide, and a general user satisfaction form. All forms were approved without change under OMB Control #1121-0277.

In 2009, there was a request for extension of the forms, however the package did not contain references to the OJJDP NTTAC feedback forms, only the OVC TTAC forms. To rectify this issue, we request a correction to the package to include the OJJDP NTTAC forms. Some edits have been made to the forms to reflect current NTTAC activities and information needs though the purpose of customer satisfaction with NTTAC activities and the structure of the forms remains unchanged. The burden has not significantly changed as the primary change consisted of tailoring the forms to each type of event (e.g. a conference versus a training event) while the total population remains similar to previous submissions.

Thank you for your consideration of this request and please let us know if we need to take any further steps to provide the information needed to review this request.
