Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently-
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Supplementary Homicide Report.
    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 the DOJ is the CJIS Division in the FBI.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Federal, state, local, and tribal 
law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Abstract: Under Title 28, United 
States Code, Section 534(a) and (c), this collection requests homicide 
data from respondents in order for the FBI 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 in Crime in the United States. The two-sided 
SHR form 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.
    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 9,376. Annually, those LEAs submit a total 
of 112,512 responses (9,376 LEAs x 12 months = 112,512 responses 
annually). The estimated time it takes for an average respondent to 
respond is nine minutes. Therefore, the estimated annual public burden 
associated with the SHR data collection is 16,877 hours [(112,512 
annual responses x 9 minutes per response)/60 minutes per hour = 
16.876.8 total annual hours].
