Under 34 USC § 41303 & 28 USC § 534, the FBI UCR Program collects and disseminates national crime data. Pre-tests help to ensure data collection methods and instruments are valid, reliable, and free from instrument induced errors.
There will be an increase in burden as the number of respondents needed for UCR projects increased from 300 to 400 for testing and from 400 to 500 for burden assessments. This adjustment, from 1,200 hours to 1,575 hours is an increase of 375 hours.
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).

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
