Under Title 34, USC, § 41303 & Title 28, USC, § 534, this collection collects arson data from federal, state, county, city, and tribal law enforcement for the UCR Program to serve as the national clearinghouse for collection of arson data.
US Code:
28 USC 534
Name of Law: Acquisition, Preservation, and Exchange of Identification Records; Appointment of Officials
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 FBIâs UCR Program will 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;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
