    Abstract: This clearance provides the Federal Bureau of

collection instruments, and determine the level of burden state and 
local agencies have in reporting crime data to the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation. The Paperwork Reduction Act only allows for nine or 
fewer respondents in the collection of information, such as pretesting 
activities. This clearance request expands the pretesting sample to 350 
people for each of the twelve information collections administered by 
the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Program. 
Further, the clearance will allow for a brief five minute cost and 
burden assessment for the 18,000 law enforcement agencies participating 
in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Program.

time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Uniform Crime 
Reporting Participation Burden Estimation: There are approximately 
18,000 law enforcement respondents; calculated estimates indicate five 
minutes per submission. Uniform Crime Reporting Form Pretesting: There 
are approximately 350 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 1,850 hours, annual
