    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved 
collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Quarterly Hate Crime Report 
and Hate Crime Incident Report.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form numbers are 1-699 
and 1-700. The applicable component within the Department of Justice, 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information 
Services Division.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: The affected public who are asked to 
voluntarily respond is city, county, state, tribal, and federal U.S. 
law enforcement agencies. Under Title 28, U.S. Code, Section 534, this 
information collection requests hate crime data from respondents in 
order for the FBI UCR Program to serve as the national clearinghouse 
for the collection and dissemination of hate crime data and to publish 
these statistics annually in ``Hate Crime Statistics''. This provides 
for the national UCR Program a record of each hate crime incident 
including the offense classification and its respective bias 
motivation, the number and type of victims, the location of the 
incident, the number of suspected offenders, the suspected offender's 
race, and whether the victims and offenders are under 18 or over the 
age of 18.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: There is a 
potential of 18,290 law enforcement agency respondents; 11,357 for the 
Summary Reporting System (SRS) and 6,933 for the National Incident-
Based Reporting System (NIBRS). NIBRS burden hours are collected on the 
NIBRS Information

[[Page 40780]]

Collection Request. Calculated estimates for an SRS respondent to 
respond indicate 7 minutes per quarter. The total annual burden hour 
per respondent is 28 minutes. Total Annual Hour Burden: 7 minutes x 4 
quarters = 28 minutes.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are approximately 5,300 hours, annual 
burden, associated with this information collection.

11,357 respondents x 4 responses/year = 45,428 total annual responses.
45,428 x 7 minutes/60 minutes = 5,300 total annual hour burden.

(This burden estimate does not include the 6,933 NIBRS agencies; the 
NIBRS burden hours are captured in the NIBRS Information Collection 
Request.)
