Short Statement: Much of the crime data collected by the FBI is submitted by LEAs via NIBRS. However, the UCR Program has opted for a short-term collection of additional incidents from those agencies still collecting data under SRS. Renewing the Monthly Return of Arson Offenses Known to Law Enforcement data collection will also allow LEAs to submit updates to previously reported incidents. The decrease in burden to state programs and local LEAs is expected to continue as more agencies transition to NIBRS. Due to the transition, the FBI’s UCR Program will shift a large portion of these operational and administrative burden hours to the NIBRS collection.
