Abstract: The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) is the only national data collection furnishing annual individual-level information for State prisoners admitted or released during the year, those in custody at year-end, and persons discharged from parole supervision. The NCRP collects data on sentencing, time served in prison and on parole, offense, admission/release type and demographic information. BJS, the Congress, researchers and criminal justice practitioners use these data to describe annual movements of adult offenders through State correctional system. Providers of the data are personnel in State Departments of

Short Statement: The previous estimate of respondent burden (2,298 hours) was partly based on the expected participation and receipt of manually-completed forms from 2 states for report year 2006. Both states have been converted to ADP respondents, leaving no manually reporting respondents for year 2009, and contributing to a net decrease in burden hours for report year 2009. All responses for 2009 and beyond are expected to be ADP submissions. The estimate of burden hours for report year 2009 was also affected by the recognition that prison admission (NCRP-1A) and prison release data (NCRP-1B) generally reside in the same database, but parole release data (NCRP-1C) require running a separate computer extraction program. Further, not every state that provides NCRP-1A and NCRP-1B data has been providing data for NCRP-1C. (Previous burden estimates have always included separate burden hour estimates for yearend prison population data, NCRP-1D, to reflect that these data reside in a separate database.) Accurate accounting of the time required to provide prisoner admission and release records, separate from parole release records, coupled with the recognition that previous burden estimates included time for writing computer programs to extract data, when in fact, current respondents were writing programs once and re-running them in subsequent years, further contributed to a net decrease in estimated burden hours.
