(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 through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques of
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of information collection:
Revision of a currently approved
collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection:
National Incident-Based Reporting
System.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
department sponsoring the collection:
Form Number: 1110–0058. Sponsor:
Criminal Justice Information Services
Division, 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: City, county, state, tribal,
and federal law enforcement agencies.
Abstract: 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. NIBRS is an incidentbased reporting system in which law
enforcement collects data on each crime
occurrence. Designed to be generated as
a byproduct of local, state, and federal
automated records systems, currently,
the NIBRS collects data on each
incident and arrest within 23 crime
categories made up of 49 specific crimes
called Group A offenses. For each of the
offenses coming to the attention of law
enforcement, various facts about the
crime are collected. In addition to the
Group A offenses, there are 10 Group B
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:56 Aug 12, 2015
Jkt 235001
offense categories for which only arrest
data are reported. The most significant
difference between NIBRS and the
traditional Summary Reporting System
(SRS) is the degree of detail in reporting.
In reporting data via the traditional SRS,
law enforcement agencies tally the
occurrences of eight Part I crimes.
NIBRS is capable of producing more
detailed, accurate, and meaningful data
because data are collected about when
and where crime takes place, what form
it takes, and the characteristics of its
victims and perpetrators. Although most
of the general concepts for collecting,
scoring, and reporting UCR data in the
SRS apply in the NIBRS, such as
jurisdictional rules, there are some
important differences in the two
systems. The most notable differences
that give the NIBRS an advantage over
the SRS are: No Hierarchy Rule, in a
multiple-offense incident NIBRS reports
every offense occurring during the
incident where SRS would report just
the most serious offense and the lowerlisted offense would not be reported;
NIBRS provides revised, expanded, and
new offense definitions; NIBRS provides
more specificity in reporting offenses,
using NIBRS offense and arrest data for
23 Group A offense categories can be
reported while in the SRS eight Part I
offenses can be reported; NIBRS can
distinguish between attempted and
completed Group A crimes; NIBRS also
provides crimes against society while
the SRS does not; the victim-to-offender
data, circumstance reporting, drug
related offenses, offenders suspected use
of drugs, and computer crime is
expanded in NIBRS; the NIBRS update
reports are directly tied to the original
incident submitted. The Group A
offense categories include arson, assault
offenses, bribery, burglary/breaking and
entering, counterfeiting/forgery,
destruction/damage/vandalism of
property, drug/narcotic offenses,
embezzlement, extortion/blackmail,
fraud offenses, gambling offenses,
homicide offenses, human trafficking,
kidnapping/abduction, larceny/theft
offenses, motor vehicle theft,
pornography/obscene material,
prostitution offenses, robbery, sex
offenses, sex offenses/non-forcible,
stolen property offenses, and weapon
law violations. The Group B offense
categories include bad checks, curfew/
loitering/vagrancy violations, disorderly
conduct, DUI, drunkenness, family
offenses/nonviolent, liquor law
violations, peeping tom, trespass of real
property, and all other offenses.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
respond: There are approximately 6,420
law enforcement agencies. The amount
of time estimated for an average
respondent to respond is two hours
monthly which totals to an annual hour
burden of 24 hours. The 2 hours to
respond is the time it takes for the
agencies records management system
(RMS) to download the NIBRS and send
to the FBI. By design, law enforcement
agencies generate NIBRS data as a byproduct of their RMS. Therefore, a law
enforcement agency builds its system to
suit its own individual needs, including
all of the information required for
administration and operation; then
forwards only the data required by the
NIBRS to participate in the FBI UCR
Program.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with this
collection: There are approximately
154,080 hours, annual burden,
associated with this information
collection. The total number of
respondents is 6,420 with a total annual
hour burden of 24 hours, (6,420 × 24 =
154,080 total annual hours).

is ITS–1. The applicable component
within the Department of Justice is the
Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office
of Justice Programs.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Respondents will be persons
16 years or older living in households
located throughout the United States
sampled for the National Crime
Victimization Survey (NCVS). The ITS
will be conducted as a supplement to
the NCVS in all sample households for
a six (6) month period. The ITS is
primarily an effort to measure the
prevalence of identity theft among
persons, the characteristics of identity
theft victims, and patterns of reporting
to the police, credit bureaus, and other
authorities. The ITS was also designed
to collect important characteristics of
identity theft such as how the victim’s
personal information was obtained; the
physical, emotional and financial
impact on victims; offender information;
and the measures people take to avoid
or minimize their risk of becoming an
identity theft victim. BJS plans to
publish this information in reports and
reference it when responding to queries
from the U.S. Congress, Executive Office
of the President, the U.S. Supreme
Court, state officials, international
organizations, researchers, students, the
media, and others interested in criminal
justices statistics.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimate of the total
number of respondents is 113,000.
About 93% of respondents (101,090)
will have no identity theft and will
complete the short interview with an
average burden of five minutes. Among
the 7% of respondents (7,910) who
experienced at least one incident of
identity theft, the time to ask the
detailed questions regarding the aspects
of the most recent incident of identity
theft is estimated to take an average of
14 minutes. Respondents will be asked
to respond to this survey only once
during the six month period. The
burden estimate is based on data from
prior administrations of the ITS.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There is an estimated 10,227
total burden hours associated with this
collection.
