Abstract:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) seeks approval to continue its Annual Surveys of Probation and Parole (ASPP) for the 2017-2019 data collection period. These establishment surveys provide BJS with the capacity to report annually on changes in the size and composition of the community corrections populations in the United States. The surveys also track key outcomes of offenders on probation or parole, such as completion of supervision terms and return to incarceration (or recidivism). Data are collected from the known universe of probation and parole supervising agencies, using central reporters wherever possible to minimize burden the public. The ASPP provides the only national level, regularly collected, data on the community corrections populations, and, as such, they inform this key stage of the criminal justice process.

Short Statement:
The estimated total burden for the 2017 ASPP is 716 hours. This is a decrease of 70 hours compared with the burden approved by OMB in 2014. The change is the result of two modifications. 1) A reduction of approximately 60 hours was achieved by the deletion of the three questions used in the 2014 and 2015 ASPP to assess coverage of the probation agency frame. 2) A net reduction of 10 hours of burden due to changes in the number of probation agencies asked to participate.
