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: Form 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 that involve an abduction, are apparently random, 
motiveless, or sexually oriented, or are known or suspected to be part 
of a series. Sexual assaults committed by a stranger, or those 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 18,000 government entities that are eligible to submit 
cases, it is estimated that thirty to fifty 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 5000 hours, annual 
burden, associated with this information collection.
