Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There will be an increase in burden for the individual respondents as a result of including the burden estimate for state program manager and local LEA outreach; however, the overall annual burden hours have decreased. This adjustment, from 154,080 to 152,538 is a decrease of 1,542. This decrease in burden is due to the methods used to calculate the total burden hours. During the 2015 revision of the NIBRS the total number of annual responses was determined by multiplying the number of respondents by 12, the frequency of responses.
