2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Latent Print Examiner Black
Box Study 2022.

the Department sponsoring the collection: There is no agency form
number for this collection. The applicable component within the

4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Affected public will consist of U.S. Federal,
state, local, and tribal government employees, and contractors for
these government agencies (``business or other non-profit'').
Abstract: This study is being conducted to measure the accuracy and
reproducibility of latent print examiners' decisions when comparing
latents to known fingerprints acquired by a search of the FBI NGI
system, and to compare these results with those from published studies
using the FBI IAFIS. Respondents will be latent fingerprint examiners
(employees and contractors) from U.S. Federal, state, local, and tribal
governments.

time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 250
respondents is anticipated, though the research study will be open to
all practicing latent fingerprint examiners from U.S. Federal, state,
local, and tribal governments. Individuals will work at their own
paces, but the project was scaled for an average of 12 hours total per
individual to respond to the collection.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 3,000 hours.
