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: Under title 28, United States Code, sections 534(a) and
(c), this collection requests homicide data from respondents for the
FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program to serve as the national
clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of homicide and
other crime-related data and to publish these statistics. SHR collects
details about all murders and nonnegligent manslaughters (including
justifiable homicides) and negligent manslaughters. The details include
the reporting agency; month and year; situation; age, sex, race, and
ethnicity of the victim(s) and the offender(s); weapon type used;
relationship of the victim(s) to the offender(s); and circumstance(s)
surrounding the incident (e.g., argument, robbery, gang related), if
known.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Supplementary Homicide Report
(SHR).
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1-704. The
applicable component within DOJ is the CJIS Division, FBI.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as the obligation to respond: Affected Public: State, local and
tribal governments, Federal Government. The obligation to respond is
voluntary.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated
number of LEAs submitting SHR data to the UCR Program monthly via the
Summary Reporting System is 6,652. Annually, those LEAs submit a total
of 79,824 responses (6,652 LEAs x 12 months = 79,824 responses
annually). The estimated time it takes for an average respondent to
respond is nine minutes.
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated number of LEAs submitting SHR data
to the UCR Program monthly via the Summary Reporting System is 6,652.
Annually, those LEAs submit a total of 79,824 responses (6,652 LEAs x
12 months = 79,824 responses annually). The estimated time it takes for
an average respondent to respond is nine minutes.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: Currently, LEAs incur no direct costs by
participating in the FBI UCR Program. With the renewal of this
collection, respondents are not expected to incur any capital, start-
up, or system maintenance costs. Costs to agency records management
systems are very difficult to obtain. Vendors do not divulge costs
because charges differ from agency to agency and many costs are built
into vendors' contracts. Depending on the contract, charges mandated by
law may be included with no other additional costs. However, an
estimate has been projected that agencies pay a $107,000 maintenance
fee every year for system maintenance costs.
