This ICR CHG is to address the terms of clearance on the web-based data collection.
This series analyzes capital statutes and data on persons under sentence of death in State and Federal correctional facilities. Information acquired from this program provides historical trends and will be used as a source of comparative data by BJS, Congress, journalists, researchers, and other interested parties.
Fluctuations in the flow and the population of inmates under sentence of death from one year to the next will result in corresponding changes in the annual response burden.
