Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved 
collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: ViCAP Case Submission Form.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of

Federal Bureau of Investigation.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Federal, state, local, and tribal 
government law enforcement agencies charged with the responsibility of 
investigating violent crimes.
    Abstract: Established by the Department of Justice in 1985, ViCAP 
serves as the national repository for violent crimes; specifically; 
Homicides (and attempts) that are known or suspected to be part of a 
series and/or are apparently random, motiveless, or sexually oriented. 
Sexual assaults that are known or suspected to be part of a series and/
or are committed by a stranger. Missing persons where the circumstances 
indicate a strong possibility of foul play and the victim is still 
missing. Unidentified human remains where the manner of death is known 
or suspected to be homicide. Comprehensive case information submitted 
to ViCAP is maintained in the ViCAP National Crime Database and is 
automatically compared to all other cases in the databases to identify 
potentially related cases.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Of the 
approximately 18,000 government law enforcement agencies that are 
eligible to submit cases, it is estimated that thirty to fifty percent 
will actually submit cases to ViCAP. The time burden of the respondents 
is less than 60 minutes per form.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 5,000 annual burden hours.
