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. 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.
[[Page 65253]]
4. Affected public will be asked or required to respond, and a
brief abstract: Federal, state, county, city, and tribal law
enforcement agencies. Abstract: This collection requests Part I offense
and clearance data, and stolen and recovered monetary values of stolen
property throughout the United States from federal, state, county,
city, and tribal law enforcement agencies in order for the FBI's
Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program to serve as the national
clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of crime data and to
publish these statistics in 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/reply: 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 UCR Program is no longer
accepting new monthly submissions from Return A and Supplement to
Return A data using this clearance. This clearance is being maintained
to allow the submission of updates to past Summary Reporting System
(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
existing reporting patterns, the UCR Program has received 87,059 Return
A and Supplement to Return A update submissions from 5,580 responding
agencies in 2021 with an estimated response time of 10 minutes per
response for Return A and 11 minutes for Supplement to Return A on this
form. This number has changed from the 60-day notice due to a
recalculation of the data available to the program. In order to provide
a singular calculation of the estimated burden, the approximate minutes
per response calculation is averaged between the Return A and
Supplement to Return A forms. This results in a calculation of 10.5
minutes per response for the entire 1110-0001 clearance. The total
burden for this clearance is determined by taking the 87,059 total
responses received multiplied by the average minutes per response of
10.5 minutes per response. This provides a total minute of burden of
914,119.5 minutes. Converted to hours, the total number of burden hours
for this collection is 15,235 hours. As the UCR Program moves further
from the NIBRS transition, it is expected the total number of updates
will steadily decline, mainly due to the 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 15,235 hours, annual
burden, associated with this information collection.
