OMB notes that DOJ conducted focus group work involving 16 participants and other pretesting and preregistering for this collection without a valid OMB-appoved control number. In addition, OMB adds the following terms of clearance to this collection: With regard to the Peer Pal Program discussed in the revised supporting statement A and in the attached supplemental document entitled Informed Consent for Participation in the CJP Peer Pal Program, OMB approves the scope of the waiver of confidentiality to cover only the name and contact information of the juvenile probation officials who participate in responding to the census questionnaire. OMB does not approve the sharing of any individual jurisdictional juvenile population data nor any operational/policy information from the CJP censuses.

The Census of Juveniles on Probation (CJP) will collect information about the number and characteristics of youth on probation in the U.S. The CJP is administered biennially to juvenile probation supervision offices. [The CJP was previously approved by OMB under the National Juvenile Probation Census Project, which also included a partner data collection, the Census of Juvenile Probation Supervision Offices (CJPSO). OJJDP determined it was best to separate the OMB approval packages for the 2 data collections and will submit the CJPSO package later this year.]
The change in burden hours reflects a change in plans for administering this collection so that we will only be conducting one of these collections each year. Also, the original PRA request indicated a respondent universe of 1,715; based on our experience in administering this collection and updating our lists, the actual respondent universe size is about 1,000 (these 1,000 responders cover all Geographic Probation Supervision Areas (GPSAs), which total approximately 1,606).
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.
