Justice Department Updates Juvenile Census Survey
Published Date: 6/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The Department of Justice wants to update how it collects info for the 2027 Juvenile Facility Census Program, which tracks kids under 21 in juvenile facilities. They’re asking for public feedback by August 7, 2026, to make sure the process is clear, useful, and not too much work. This update aims to improve data collection while keeping it easy and efficient for facilities to respond.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Which facilities must respond
If you operate a secure or nonsecure residential placement facility that houses people younger than age 21 who are held because of contact with the juvenile justice system, your facility is included in the 2027 Juvenile Facility Census Program (JFCP) information collection. The DOJ says the affected public includes State, local, and tribal governments as well as private sector (for‑profit and not‑for‑profit) institutions and individuals or households, and that responding is voluntary.
Estimated time burden per response
The DOJ estimates each full JFCP response takes an average of 6 hours: the Youth Population module is 4 hours and the Facility Operations module is 2 hours. The agency estimates 1,636 respondents per administration and reports an average annual burden of 4,908 hours and a total of 19,632 hours over two biennial administrations.
Estimated financial cost to respondents
The DOJ estimates the JFCP imposes an annual cost burden of $1,142,155 and a total cost of $4,568,460 across two collection cycles. These are the agency's estimated aggregate costs associated with the information collection.
Consolidation to reduce burden
The DOJ states that the two JFCP data collections (Youth Population and Facility Operations modules) are being consolidated to attain cost savings and reduce respondent burden. The modules continue to be administered on a two‑year cycle as rotating content.
Collected data will be publicly reported
The DOJ will use the JFCP data to produce published reports and statistics and will make those reports available to the U.S. Congress, the President's office, practitioners, researchers, students, the media, and the general public via OJP agency websites. The notice covers the 2027 collection and invites public comment through August 7, 2026.
