DOJ seeks approval of a new case
reporting for the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces
("ICACs"). DOJ requests emergency processing of its request to
implement a mandatory case reporting form for these task forces. As
set forth below, this reporting requirement is essential to
ensuring that federal tax dollars are being used in the manner
intended by Congress and the Administration and to ensuring optimal
intergovernmental and interagency coordination by ICACs.
Emergency processing is
required because grant renewals and new ICAC grantee awards are
imminent. If the mandatory, quarterly reporting requirement is not
incorporated in ICAC grant renewals, then DOJs efforts to monitor
and confirm the effective use of taxpayer dollars through mandatory
reporting and to coordinate the efforts of ICACs with U.S.
Attorneys offices may be delayed for another twelve months.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
