Abstract: The National Prison Rape Statistics Program (NPRSP) is a collection mandated by Congress in the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003. The Survey of Sexual Victimization (SSV, formerly Survey of Sexual Violence), one part of the NPRSP, is the only national data collection for administrative information on sexual assaults within correctional facilities, characteristics of the victims and perpetrators, circumstances surrounding the incidents, and how incidents are reported, tracked, and adjudicated. This collection provides system-level and facility-level estimates of sexual victimization for the 12-month period ending December 31 of each year. It fulfills part of the Act and allows BJS to report statistics to Congress each year, as required by the Act. The survey received OMB approval in 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2014. BJS requests approval to extend the currently approved SSV collection for 3 years (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2020).

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The current respondent burden is listed as 1,353 hours. BJS is requesting an increase to 1,993 to account for 36 additional respondents (from 187 private/special adult facilities to 223) and a revised estimate of the number of incident forms, from 1,064 to 2,310. The increase in number of respondents will provide greater precision for annual estimates of the number of allegations and substantiated incidents from privately operated adult facilities and locally or privately operated juvenile facilities. The revised number of incident forms better reflects the increased number of substantiated incidents and the addition of the fifth type of sexual victimization, inmate-on-inmate sexual harassment, in 2013.
