    Abstract: This survey is needed to collect reports of cargo theft 
offenses reported by federal, state, local, tribal, university/college, 
and territorial LEAs. It should be noted cargo theft offenses are being 
collected under the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) as 
of January 1, 2021. However, some agencies did not complete the 
transition to NIBRS by the given date. Therefore, the FBI's Uniform 
Crime Reporting (UCR) Program continues to collect cargo theft 
information under the Summary Reporting System (SRS). This practice 
will only occur for a short period of time after which the FBI's UCR 
Program will no longer accept new cargo theft data from those agencies 
not yet participating in NIBRS (i.e., SRS agencies). When the extension 
officially expires, the FBI's UCR Program will only accept updates to 
previously reported cargo theft incidents submitted by SRS agencies via 
the Cargo Theft Incident Report. The updated information will be added 
to the master file for historical purposes.
