Due to the FBI UCR Program’s
full transition to the NIBRS on January 1, 2021, the FBI UCR
Program will no longer be collecting new statistical data under
this collection’s terms of clearance after that date. The FBI UCR
Program may still accept past data submission from agencies after
the 2021 deadline. However, the FBI UCR Program will no longer need
an additional 300 hours estimated burden for operational and
administrative questions for the state program managers and local
LEAs. It is also expected that our burden to state programs and
local LEAs in this collection will continue to decrease as more
agencies transition to NIBRS. Due to the upcoming transition, the
FBI UCR Program intends to shift a large portion of these
operational and administrative burden hours to the NIBRS
collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
