These forms are the means by which
federal, state, and local agencies, as well as individuals, submit
fingerprint identification information. Title 28, United States
Code, Section 534, allows the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
to aquire, collect, classify, and preserve
identification/information, criminal identification, crime, and
other records. The FBI permits such exchange of records and
information with, and for the official use of, authorized officials
of the Federal Government, including the United States Sentencing
Commission; the States and cities; and penal and other
institutions.

Reason for change in burden:
The increase of 6.9 million annual hour burden can be attributed to
a previous error in calculation. Reason for change in Number of
respondents: The increase reflects the addition of the Departmental
Order “Identity History Summary Request” requestors. They were not
previously included, but should be, as individuals use the
fingerprint cards to request their information. Reason for decrease
in Total annual responses: The total quoted in the previous package
is not consistent with the figures quoted by the Statistical
Trending Analysis and Reporting Team. The figure has been verified.
Reason for decrease in hard copy responses: The CJIS Division has
been working diligently to reduce the number of hard copy
fingerprint cards that require additional resources to process.
Agencies are continuously encouraged to submit by electronic
methods only. Without special circumstances, the cards are rejected
back to the contributor to submit electronically. This number
should be expected to continually decrease.
