Department sponsoring the collection:
There is no agency form number
applicable to this survey.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Primary: Federal, state, local, and
tribal government law enforcement
agencies to which the NCAVC has
provided investigative assistance.
Abstract: The mission of the National
Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime
(NCAVC) combines investigative and
operational support functions, research,
and training in order to provide
assistance, without charge, to law
enforcement agencies investigating
unusual or repetitive violent crimes.
The NCAVC also provides support
through expertise and consultation in
non-violent matters such as national
security, corruption, and white-collar
crime investigations.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that 100
respondents per calendar year will be
contacted to complete a survey
consisting of 11 questions. An
approximate non-response rate of 50%
is anticipated. It is estimated that a
burden of approximately three to five
minutes, or .05 to .08 hours, will be cast
upon each respondent to complete the
survey, with a total estimate of five to
8.3 hours in a calendar year for all
respondents combined, if all
respondents complete a survey. If the
expected non-response rate of 50%
holds true, then the combined burden
estimate drops to approximately 2.5 to
4.2 hours per calendar year. The
NCAVC estimates little to no variability
within this time estimate based upon on
individualized data retrieval systems,
availability of requested data, and other
variables, because this survey is
intended to assess customer satisfaction
rather than generate empirical data.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 20–32 annual burden hours.
