OMB appreciates the continued collaboration between CJIS and BJS to learn more about the barriers for increasing law enforcement agency participation in NIBRS, and effective ways for addressing those barriers. OMB requests that upon resubmission of this collection for renewal that the agency provide OMB with an update on the progress made around recruitment. As per the previous terms of clearance, OMB requests that CJIS keep it apprised of progress at appropriate times, but no less than annually, during the 3 years in which this collection is approved under the PRA with the next update coming in June 2016. In addition, OMB requests that the agency pay close attention to and develop a process for dealing with issues that are identified by the National Academies panel and by LEAs regarding the user-friendliness of NIBRS for participants, particularly newly recruited participants, and the utility of the data for various policy and program stakeholders.
