SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the

the following four points:

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;

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.

    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Uniform Crime Reporting Data 
Collection Instrument Pretesting and Burden Estimation General 
Clearance.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1110-0057. 
The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the 
Criminal Justice Information Services Division, in the Federal Bureau 
of Investigation.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: City, county, state, tribal and 
federal law enforcement agencies. Abstract: This clearance provides the 
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 Paperwork Reduction Act only allows for nine 
respondents in pretesting activities. This clearance request expands 
the pretesting sample to 30 people for each of the twelve information 
collections administered by the UCR Program. Further, the clearance 
will allow for a brief 5-minute cost and burden assessment for the 
18,000 law enforcement agencies participating in the UCR Program.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: UCR Participation 
Burden Estimation: There are approximately 18,000 law enforcement 
respondents; calculated estimates indicate five minutes per submission. 
UCR Form Pretesting: There are approximately 300 respondents; 
calculated estimates indicate one hour per pretest.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are approximately 1,800 hours, annual 
burden, associated with this information collection.
