information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

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,

[[Page 59461]]

including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
    <bullet> Enhance 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: Law Enforcement Officers 
Killed or Assaulted (LEOKA)
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form Number: LEOKA Form 1-
705. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the 
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, territory 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 Law Enforcement Officers 
Killed or Assaulted data from city, county, state, federal, and tribal 
law enforcement agencies in order for the FBI's UCR Program to serve as 
the national clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of 
crime data and to publish these statistics in the Law Enforcement 
Officers Killed or Assaulted (LEOKA) annual publication.
    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 National Incident-Based 
Reporting System (NIBRS) transition, the FBI's UCR Program is no longer 
accepting new monthly submissions for LEOKA data using this clearance 
but will accept updates to Summary Reporting System submissions for 
incidents occurring prior to 2021. 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's UCR Program has 
received 64,734 LEOKA update submissions since January 1, 2021, with an 
estimated response time of 7 minutes per response on this form. As more 
agencies transition to NIBRS, it is expected that the total number of 
updates will steadily decline, mainly due to updates being submitted 
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 7,552.3 hours, annual 
burden, associated with this information collection.
    If additional information is required contact: Robert Houser, 
Department Clearance Officer, Policy and Planning Staff, Justice 
Management Division, Department of Justice, Two Constitution Square, 
145 N Street NE, 3E.206, Washington, DC 20530.

    Dated: September 26, 2022.
Robert Houser,
Department Clearance Officer for PRA, Policy and Planning Staff, Office 
of the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Department of Justice.
