Abstract: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), in partnership with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, requests a revision of a currently approved collection, the Juvenile Facility Census Program (JFCP) under OMB No. 1121-0011 (expiration date 12/31/2027). Through this submission, NIJ is seeking approval to consolidate two separate data collections (the Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement and the Juvenile Residential Facility Census), administered biennially in alternating years, into a single biennial data collection that includes two rotating content modules administered separately during the two-year collection cycle: the Youth Population module and the Facility Operations module. The purpose of the consolidation is to achieve cost savings and reduce respondent burden.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The total estimated burden hours (9,816) is lower than the 17,110 requested in the prior OMB package. This change in estimated burden is due a reduction of the number of survey administrations under the clearance, from three surveys to two survey modules, and a slight decrease in the number of anticipated respondents. Based on the 2025 Census of Juveniles in Resident Placement frame maintenance, the anticipated number of facilities in the census universe decreased 4%, from 1,711 to 1,636. The increase for the IC titled JFCP – Facility Operations Module results from a new, consolidated form described above. This form replaces the JRFC Collection, which has been removed.
