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:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical
utility;
--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;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--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.
Abstract: This clearance provides the FBI's UCR Program the ability
to conduct pretests which evaluate the validity and reliability of
information collection instruments and determine the level of burden
state and local agencies have in reporting crime data to the FBI. The
PRA only allows for ten or more respondents in the collection of
information, such as pretesting activities. This clearance request
expands the pretesting sample to 350 people for each of the information
collections administered by the UCR
[[Page 66899]]
Program. Further, the clearance will allow for a brief five-minute cost
and burden assessment for the 18,000 law enforcement agencies
participating in the UCR Program.
