OMB appreciates
OJJDP's efforts to collaborate with other agencies with related
responsibilities and interests. Before submitting this collection
in the future, OJJDP should coordinate with BJS, particularly in
light of BJS’s recent work with the National Center for Health
Statistics to study prison and jail provision of health, mental
health and substance abuse services, to ensure maximum
comparability and consistency between collections. Second, OMB
encourages BJS and OJJDP to continue discussion and collaboration
with the National Center for Education Statistics, with whom BJS
shares two collections, to minimize overlap and increase
comparability between this collection and Education’s K-12
institutional data collections.

This data collection will gather
information about the operations and activities of residential
facilities for juveniles (persons under 18) who are placed there
due to contact with the justice system.
There is a decrese in the hour
burden because the number of respondents has decreased from 2,767
in 2010 to an anticipated 2,545 in 2014. Consequently, with an
average burden of 2 hours, the total number of annual burden hours
requested has decreased 444 from 5,534 annual hours to 5,090.
