OMB appreciates the continued collaboration between CJIS and BJS. OMB requests that FBI work with BJS in thinking about how NIBRS can be useful in collecting information about crimes under joint jurisdiction with tribal authorities and that FBI prepare with BJS a joint memo within 60 days to OMB describing how the agencies can work on this together, given recent initiatives planned by BJS to better understand crime and policing in tribal areas.

Under U.S. Code, Title 28, Section 534, Acquisition, Preservation, and Exchange of Identification Records; Appointment of Officials, June 11, 1930; Public Law 109-177 (H.R. 3199), March 9, 2006, USA Patriot Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005; PL 110-457, Title II, Section 237(a), (b), December 23, 2008, the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Reauthorization Act of 2008, and Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, April 28, 2009, this collection requests Incident data from city, county, state, tribal and federal law enforcement agencies in order for the FBI UCR Program to serve as the national clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of incident data and to publish these statistics in Crime in the United States, Hate Crime Statistics, and Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted.
There will be an increase in burden for the individual respondents as a result of including the burden estimate for state program manager and local LEA outreach; however, the overall annual burden hours have decreased. This adjustment, from 154,080 to 152,538 is a decrease of 1,542. This decrease in burden is due to the methods used to calculate the total burden hours. During the 2015 revision of the NIBRS the total number of annual responses was determined by multiplying the number of respondents by 12, the frequency of responses.
