information are encouraged. Your
comments should address one or more
of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency/component,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s/component’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Overview of this information:
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Approval of an Existing Collection.
(2) Title of the Forms: The National
Instant Criminal Background Check
System (NICS) State Point of Contact
(POC) Final Determination Electronic
Submission.
(3) Agency Form Number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
department sponsoring the collection:
Form Number: 1110–0035.
Sponsor: Criminal Justice Information
Services (CJIS) Division of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
Department of Justice (DOJ).
(4) Affected Public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Primary: Full State Points of Contact
(POC) , Partial-POCs, Alternate Permit
State POCs.
Brief Abstract: This collection is
requested of Full State Points of Contact
(POCs), Partial POCs, and Alternate
Permit State POCs. Per 28 Code of
Federal Regulations, Section 25.6(h),
POC States are required to transmit
electronic determination messages to
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Criminal Justice Information Services
Division’s National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS)
Section of the status of a firearm
background check in those instances in
which a transaction is ‘‘open’’
(transactions unresolved before the end
of the operational day on which the
transaction was initiated); ‘‘denied’’
transactions; transactions reported to
the NICS as open and subsequently
changed to proceed; and overturned
denials. The State POC must
communicate this response to the NICS
immediately upon communicating their
determination to the Federal Firearms
Licensee or in those cases in which a
response has not been communicated,
no later than the end of the operational
day in which the transaction was
initiated. For those responses that are
not received, the NICS will assume the
transaction resulted in a ‘‘proceed.’’
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond:
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65985
There are 21 State POCs and ten
Alternate Permit State POCs who
conduct an average of 4,312,811
transactions per year. It is estimated that
26 percent would be affected by this
collection and would require electronic
messages sent to the NICS. This
translates to 1,121,331 transactions,
which would be the total number of
annual responses. The other 74 percent
would not be reported in this collection.
It will require one minute (60 seconds)
for each POC State to transmit the
information per transaction to the NICS.
Thus, it is estimated that collectively all
respondents will spend 18,689 hours
yearly submitting determinations to the
NICS. If the number of transactions were
distributed evenly among the POC
States, then 603 hours would be the
estimated time for each of the 31 states
to respond. Record keeping time is part
of the routine business process and is
not part of this calculation.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
The average yearly hour burden for
submitting final determinations
combined is: (4,312,811 total checks ×
26 percent)/60 seconds = 18,689 hours.

agencies. For the purposes of this
survey, these forensic backlogs are
defined as the number of homicide,
rape, and property crime cases that
contain forensic evidence but that have
not been submitted to forensic crime
laboratories for analysis. The 2005
Census of Crime Laboratories conducted

the size of forensic evidence backlogs in
the nation’s crime laboratory system. In
order to develop a complete picture of
forensic backlogs across the criminal
justice system, the Survey of Law
Enforcement’s Forensic Backlogs will
provide much needed information on
forensic evidence backlogs in state and
local law enforcement agencies.
