Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden hours resulted from the transition of SRS LEAs to NIBRS. As additional SRS agencies complete the transition to NIBRS, it is expected that the number of submissions and, consequently, the annual burden hours associated with this data collection, may increase. Although not all LEAs submitted 12 months of NIBRS data in 2024, the potential for that to occur in future years exists. Therefore, the total number of agencies certified to submit data under NIBRS in 2024 was used to determine the highest possible response burden estimate for the current universe associated with the NIBRS Data Collection.
