BURDEN STATEMENT
Federal agencies may not conduct or sponsor an information collection, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information, unless
it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30 minutes
per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing
and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspects of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Director, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street, NW, Washington, DC 20531. The
Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (34 USC 10132), authorizes this information collection. Data about your agency
collected in this survey will be made publicly available after analysis. However, BJS will not release the names, phone numbers, or email addresses
of the actual persons responsible for completing the instrument. Although this survey is voluntary, BJS needs your participation to make the results
comprehensive, accurate, and timely.
