points:

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of information collection: Revision of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) The title of the form/collection: ViCAP Case Submission Form, 
FD-676.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the department sponsoring the collection: Forms 676; Critical Incident 
Response Group, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Primary: State and local government law 
enforcement agencies charged with the responsibility of investigating 
violent crimes.
    Established by the Department of Justice in 1985, ViCAP serves as 
the national repository for violent crimes; specifically:
    Homicides and attempted homicides, especially those that (a) 
involve an abduction, (b) are apparently random, motiveless, or 
sexually oriented, or (c) are known or suspected to be part of a 
series.
    Sexual assaults, especially those that (a) were committed by a 
stranger or (b) are known or suspected to be part of a series.
    Missing persons, where the circumstances indicate a strong 
possibility of foul play and the victim is still missing.
    Unidentified human remains, where the manner of death is known or 
suspected to be homicide.
    Comprehensive case information submitted to ViCAP is maintained in 
the ViCAP Web National Crime Database and is automatically compared to 
all other cases in the database to identify similarities.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Of the 
approximately 17,000 government entities that are eligible to submit 
cases, it is estimated that forty to sixty percent will actually submit 
cases to ViCAP. The time burden of the respondents is less than 60 
minutes per form.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with this collection: There are approximately 10,000 hours, annual 
burden, associated with this information collection.
