Abstract:
BJS is submitting a nonsubstantive change request to increase the number of total respondents from 30,000 to 60,000. The approved supporting statement (part A) outlines proposed projects anticipated under the generic clearance. The largest project proposed under our victimization statistics project area was not accounted for in the total responses. This work includes but is not limited to testing survey items on various types of cybercrime through web panel screening of respondents, cognitive testing, and usability testing. The total burden hours remain the same. Request for a 3-year renewal to a generic clearance for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) that will allow it to develop, test, and improve its survey and data collection instruments and methodologies. The procedures utilized to this effect include, but are not limited to, tests of various types of survey and data collection operations, focus groups, cognitive interview activities, pilot testing, field testing, exploratory interviews, experiments with questionnaire design, and usability testing of electronic data collection instruments.
