Abstract: The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) is the only national data collection furnishing annual individual-level information for State prisoners admitted or released during the year, those in custody at year-end, and persons discharged from parole supervision. The NCRP collects data on sentencing, time served in prison and on parole, offense, admission/release type and demographic information. BJS, the Congress, researchers and criminal justice practitioners use these data to describe annual movements of adult offenders through State correctional system. Providers of the data are personnel in State Departments of Corrections.

Short Statement: The burden will remain the about the same as the previously OMB approved 2023 collection. Race and ethnicity data collection guidelines have been updated to reflect the 2024 Statistical Policy Directive 15 (SPD15) revisions (see Attachment A) but BJS does not anticipate any increase in burden. BJS will continue to accept the race and ethnicity categories respondents are collecting. BJS is working with our criminal justice partners to assist in their compliance with SPD15 by the OMB deadline.
