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 FBI 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].
