The Department is reminded that all letters, scripts, and other related survey materials should be submitted along with the remainder of the Information Collection Request (ICRs), rather than waiting for OMB to request those basic materials each time.
In addition, BJS is reminded that all censuses and surveys must have a "Part B," which describes the statistical methods to be employed, as part of the ICR.
Future ICRs without such materials will be returned as improperly submitted.

Respondents are personnel in the corrections department of each state, the District of Columbia, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Name of Law: The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968
The total burden for the NPS collection under 1121-0102 appears to increase by 252 hours because we are requesting that the burden from OMB number 1121-0078 be added to 1121-0102. At the same time we are eliminating the hours requested under 1121-0078 and reducing the burden from three forms to two for a net savings of 76.5 hours per year to collect NPS data.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
