    Overview of This Information Collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Law Enforcement Officers 
Killed or Assaulted.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form Number: 1110-0006.
    Sponsor: Criminal Justice Information Services Division, Federal 
Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: City, county, state, tribal and federal law 
enforcement agencies.
    Abstract: Under Title 28, U.S. Code 534, Acquisition, Preservation, 
and Exchange of Identification Records; Appointments of Officials, 
1930, this collection requests Law Enforcement Officers Killed and 
Assaulted data from city, county, state, federal, and tribal law 
enforcement agencies in order for the FBI UCR Program to serve as the 
national clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of crime 
data and to publish these statistics in the Law Enforcement Officers 
Killed and Assaulted annual publication.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: There are 
approximately 18,600 law enforcement agencies within the universe of 
potential respondents. Due to the recent NIBRS transition, the UCR 
Program is no longer accepting new monthly submissions for LEOKA data 
using this clearance. This clearance is being maintained to allow the 
submission of updates to past SRS submissions that were provided by 
agencies prior to the 2021 NIBRS transition. The submission of updates 
to past data is strictly voluntary and at the discretion of the 
contributing agency. Based on current reporting patterns, The FBI UCR 
Program has received 68,764 LEOKA update submissions since January 1, 
2021 with an estimated response time of 7 minutes per response on this 
form. As the UCR Program moves further from the NIBRS transition, it is 
expected that the total number of updates will steadily decline, mainly 
due to updates being done through NIBRS on a more frequent basis. 
However, due to the need for these updates, the burden hour estimate is 
based on the most recent submission volumes to achieve the highest 
possible burden estimate.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: There are approximately 8,023 hours, annual 
burden, associated with this information collection.

Assistant Director, Policy and Planning Staff, Justice Management 
Division, United States Department of Justice, Two Constitution Square,

    Dated: July 26, 2022.

Assistant Director, Policy and Planning Staff, Office of the Chief 
Information Officer, U.S. Department of Justice.
