BJS Proposes Data Collection Extension: Annual Probation Survey and Annual Parole Survey

The Bureau of Justice Statistics encourages comments for 62 days until June 26, 2017, on the extension of a currently approved data collection: Annual Probation Survey and Annual Parole Survey. Your comments to BJS's requests to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), published in the Federal Register, should address points such as—

  • whether the proposed data collection is necessary, including whether the information will have practical utility
  • the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
  • whether and how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced
  • the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques.
