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.
US Code:
28 USC 534
Name of Law: Acquisition, Preservation, and Exchange of Identification Records; Appointment of Officials
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 âIdentity History Summary Requestâ 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.
