Abstract: The National Census of Victim Service Providers (NCVSP) is jointly funded by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and BJS. It is part of the larger Victim Services Research program that BJS is developing to capture, on a routine basis, information about how victim service providers (VSPs) respond to criminal victimizations. The goals of the NCVSP are twofold: (1) to develop and validate a national roster of VSPs and (2) develop an understanding of the broad range of organizations that provide victim services as their primary function or through specific programs or personnel, including how they are structured, the types of services they offer, the types of crime victims they serve, the size of their staff, and funding sources and sustainability.

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The decrease in respondent burden from 9,171 hours in 2017 to 8,750 hours in 2023 is attributed to a decrease in the total number of active VSPs that are expected to be on the final roster. The total number of VSPs was estimated based on initial deduplication of the federal and state lists of providers. In 2017, we estimated burden based on 31,000 VSPs and we are estimating 20,000 VSPs in 2023.
