There will be an increase in burden on the individual respondents as a result of including a burden estimate for state program manager and local LEA outreach; however, the overall annual burden hours have decreased. This adjustment, from 62,564 to 49,319 is a decrease of 13,245. This decrease in burden is due to the number of respondent agencies converting from the SRS to the NIBRS.
