Dear «SALUTATION»:
Once again it is time to collect information about persons under sentence of death in your jurisdiction. Enclosed you will find
NPS-8 and NPS-8A forms for calendar year 2016. The U.S. Census Bureau collects these data for the Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS) under the authority of Title 42, U.S.C., Section 3732. All information will be managed in accordance with the
BJS Data Protection Guidelines, which summarize the many federal statutes, regulations, and other authorities that govern BJS
data and data collected and maintained under BJS’s authority. The information that you provide makes it possible for us to
produce an annual report on capital punishment, which is among the most requested BJS publications.
While your participation is voluntary, your assistance is extremely important. Because of your careful work and that of other
data providers, our annual report is viewed as a reliable and accurate source of information on the death penalty in the United
States. Results from the 2015 collection will be released in late December or early January. You can access previous capital
punishment reports on the BJS website at http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbse&sid=1.
We strongly encourage you to use the updated web submission option at https://respond.census.gov/nps8. Please retain this
information as web login and password information have been sent in a separate letter. Completed forms can also be submitted
via mail using the enclosed return envelope or by fax at (888) 891-2099. We ask that you submit completed forms by

the Census Bureau, by email at [email protected] or by phone at (800) 253-2078.
We estimate that your reporting burden will average 30 minutes per response, including the time needed to review instructions,
search existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete and review the collection of information. The
approval of this data collection expires xx/xx/xxxx. Send comments regarding this burden or any other aspect of this collection
of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Director, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Washington, DC
