Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently
collection approved collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Survey of State Criminal
History Information Systems (SSCHIS).
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is N/A. The
applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau of
Justice Statistics, in the Office of Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Respondents are state government agencies, primarily state criminal
history record repositories. The SSCHIS report, the most comprehensive
data available on the collection and maintenance of information by
state criminal history record systems, describes the status of such
systems and record repositories on a biennial basis. Data collected
from state record repositories serves as the basis for estimating the
percentage of total state records that are immediately available
through the FBI's Interstate
[[Page 17018]]
Identification Index (III), and the percentage of arrest records that
include dispositions. Other data presented include the number of
records maintained by each state, the percentage of automated records
in the system, and the number of states participating in the National
Fingerprint File and the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact
which authorizes the interstate exchange of criminal history records
for noncriminal justice purposes. The SSCHIS also contains information
regarding the timeliness and completeness of data in state record
systems and procedures employed to improve data quality.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The total
number of respondents is 56. The average length of time per respondent
is 4 hours. This estimate is based on the average amount of time
reported by six states that reviewed the survey.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The total burden associated with this collection
is estimated to be 224 hours.
