Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Until recent years the three Fingerprint Cards: Arrest and Institution, Applicant, and Personal Identification were used without OMB approval which accounts for the increase in the number of responses. Due to technology, over 98.03 percent of fingerprint submissions are no longer sent as hard-copy cards, but instead a digital image of the fingerprints is captured upon a scanning device and the biographical and other pertinent information is data-entered. The responses are also returned electronically providing the results of the search. Past Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions accounted only for the hard-copy card submissions and responses. This submission includes all activity to include the electronic fingerprint submissions and responses, in which paper is not a required element.
