offenders about how juvenile facilities operate and the services they
provide. The information gathered in the national collection will be
used in published reports and statistics. The reports will be made
available to the U.S. Congress, Executive Office of the President,
practitioners, researchers, students, the media, others interested in
juvenile facilities, and the general public via the OJP agency
websites.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The number of
respondents in the facility universe is currently 2,208. It is
estimated that 1,988 respondents will complete the entire questionnaire
in an average of 2 hours per respondent (2 hours x 1,988 facilities =
3,976 hours). It is anticipated that approximately 10 percent or 220
facilities will provide critical item data by phone during nonresponse
follow-up calls taking an average of 10 minutes (10 minutes x 220
facilities = 36.7 hours). It is also anticipated that approximately 10
percent or 220 facilities will provide updated contact information on
calls taking an average of 5 minutes (5 minutes x 220 facilities = 18.3
hours).
