SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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:
<bullet> 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;
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
<bullet> Evaluate the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> 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: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Return A--Monthly Return of
Offenses Known to Police and Supplement to Return A--Monthly Return of
Offenses Known to Police and Supplement of Return A--Monthly Return of
Offenses Known to Police
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1-720 and 1-706.
Sponsor: Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: City, county, state, tribal and federal law
enforcement agencies.
Abstract: Under Title 28, U.S. Code 534, Acquisition, Preservation,
and Exchange of Identification Records; Appointments of Officials,
1930, this collection requests Part I offense and clearance data, as
well as stolen and recovered monetary values of stolen property
throughout the United States from city, county, state, tribal, and
federal law enforcement agencies in order for the FBI UCR Program to
serve as the national clearinghouse for the collection and
dissemination of crime data and to publish these statistics in the
Preliminary Semi-Annual Report and Crime in the United States.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: There are
approximately 18,600 law enforcement agencies within the universe of
potential respondents. Due to the recent NIBRS transition, the UCR
Program is no longer accepting new monthly submissions for Return A and
Supplement to Return A data using this clearance. This clearance is
being maintained to allow the submission of updates to past SRS
submissions that were provided by agencies prior to the 2021 NIBRS
transition. The submission of updates to past data is strictly
voluntary and at the discretion of the contributing agency. Based on
current reporting patterns, The FBI UCR Program has received 117,152
Return A & Supplement to Return A update submissions since January 1,
2021 with an estimated response time of 7 minutes per response on this
form. As the UCR Program moves further from the NIBRS transition, it is
expected that the total number of updates will steadily decline, mainly
due to updates being done through NIBRS on a more frequent basis.
However, due to the need for these updates, the burden hour estimate is
based on the most recent submission volumes to achieve the highest
possible burden estimate.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There are approximately 13,668 hours, annual
burden, associated with this information collection.

Division, United States Department of Justice, Two Constitution Square,
