Notice
Summary
The Department of Justice wants to keep collecting info for studies about juvenile justice and crime prevention. They’re asking for public feedback by June 8, 2026, to make sure the process is easy and useful. This extension won’t cost extra but helps improve how they gather important data to keep kids safe.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Respondent Time Burden: 120 Minutes
You or your organization may be asked to take part in cognitive, pilot, or field studies for juvenile justice data collection that are voluntary and estimated to take 120 minutes (2 hours) per respondent. DOJ estimates up to 2,000 respondents once, for a total estimated annual time burden of 4,000 hours.
No Out-of-Pocket Participation Costs
DOJ estimates the Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden for respondents is $0, meaning there are no expected out-of-pocket monetary costs to participate in these studies.
Who May Be Asked to Participate
The notice explicitly lists the affected public as state, local, and tribal governments; individuals or households; and private sector for‑profit and nonprofit institutions — these groups may be asked to respond to the DOJ studies.
