    The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, Bureau

information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork

to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. This proposed 
information collection was previously published in the Federal Register 
Volume 78, Number 39, pages 13381-13382, on February 27, 2013, allowing 
for a 60-day comment period.
    The purpose of this notice is to allow for an additional 30 days 
for public comment until July 18, 2013. This process is conducted in 
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.
    If you have comments especially on the estimated public burden or 
associated response time, suggestions, or need a copy of the proposed 
information collection instrument with instructions or additional 
information, please contact Brian A. Reaves, Bureau of Justice 
Statistics, 810 Seventh St. NW., Washington, DC 20531 (phone: 202-616-
3287).
    Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected 
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the following 
four points:

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether, and if so, how the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement, with change, of 
a previously approved collection for which approval has expired.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: 2013 Census of Law Enforcement 
Training Academies.
    (3) Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Form Number: CJ-52.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: State and Local Government. This 
information collection is a census of law enforcement training 
academies. The affected public that will be asked to respond will 
include approximately 700 state, regional, county, municipal, campus, 
and tribal law enforcement training academies that operate basic 
training programs. The information will provide national statistics on 
law enforcement training staff, recruits/trainees, curricula, 
facilities, and policies.
    This collection is the only national effort devoted to describing 
and understanding the training received by recruits entering the 
profession of law enforcement. The collection enables BJS, other 
federal agencies, and state, regional, local, campus, and tribal law 
enforcement authorities, as well as legislators and researchers, to 
track changes in the characteristics of basic recruits and their 
training programs.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the average 
amount of time for a respondent to respond: It is estimated that 700 
respondents will complete a two-hour form. It is estimated that 70 of 
these respondents will be contacted a second time to participate in 
reliability testing for selected items. This testing will average about 
one hour per selected respondent.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are an estimated 1,470 total annual burden 
hours associated with this collection.
