Previous Terms of Clearance remain in effect. OMB is granting a 1 year approval and requests that upon re-submission, FBI/UCR report to OMB on levels of response (and known nonresponse) to the cargo theft incident report and provide a plan for increasing voluntary response. The supporting statement notes that the FBI and the UCR Program have not yet publicly presented tabulations from the cargo theft collection because of its relatively recent starting date and its low data representation. As part of broader efforts to improve the quality of UCR component programs, the FBI should begin generating first-cut, draft tabulations from several years of the cargo theft data and convene discussions with contributing law enforcement agencies and with relevant stakeholders to assess the accuracy of the current cargo theft collection, identify contributors to and barriers to full voluntary response under the cargo theft incident report, and identify improvements to the content and quality of the collection.

There is no increase in burden on the individual respondents; however, the overall annual burden hours have increased. This is an adjustment, an increase from 18,108 to 18,498, which is a increase of 390. This increase in burden is due to the number of respondent agencies decreasing.
