Terms of Clearance: As requested by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the National Center for Education Statistics, OMB approves this collection for 12 months, in order to permit one more round of data collection under this control number while the agencies work to fulfill the previous terms of clearance, which are: “OMB is concerned however about the addition of burden in the form of new questions subjected only to limited testing, particularly in content areas not directly associated with crime victimization. Given that the main NCVS is undergoing redesign, this supplement also requires reexamination. Therefore, prior to submitting this collection for its next full clearance cycle, BJS, in concert with the National Center for Education Statistics and experts in criminology, should conduct a systematic review of the survey and its content. This review should assess purpose, burden and response rates, and if BJS decides to continue using content added in recent cycles, the review must also demonstrate that this new content is being analyzed, reported and found useful by stakeholders.”

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in the respondent burden from 2,090 hours to 1,773 hours is attributed to overestimation of the number of burden hours needed due to the sample increase to the NCVS in 2011. The number of hours and estimated number of eligible respondents submitted for 2011 was greater than the actual number of eligible respondents and burden hours used. The NCVS has also experienced an increase in the person level nonresponse for the 12–18 year old age group.
