Abstract:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), of the U.S. Department of Justice, requests a revision of a currently approved collection, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) (OMB No. 1121-0111). The Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) current approval of the NCVS expires November 30, 2026. Through this submission, BJS is seeking approval for an extension of the current approval of the NCVS through December 2028 to include a sample redesign which updates the first stage of the NCVS sample selection to reflect changes in the U.S. population based on the 2020 decennial census.

Short Statement:
The estimated total annual hours for 2026 (123,202) is slightly lower than the 156,246 requested in the prior OMB package. This change in estimated burden is due to a slight decrease in the number of anticipated respondents and the time per response based on updated production data. The instrument is estimated to take an average of 34 minutes. This change is also due to a 10% reduction in the number of sampled housing units. The estimated burden is based on four months (January–April 2025) of 2025 data collection with the Census Bureau for the NCVS instrument.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
