ACTION: 30-Day notice. AGENCY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), will be submitting the following information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 30 days until December 2, 2021. ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or by using the search function. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the following four points: —Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the SUMMARY: functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; —Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; —Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information proposed to be collected can be enhanced; and —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 forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Overview of This information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection: Reinstatement of a discontinued collection. 2. Title of the Form/Collection: Recordkeeping for Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substance. 3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: There is no form number. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Drug Enforcement Administration, Diversion Control Division. 4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Affected public (Primary): Business or other for-profit. Affected public (Other): Not-for-profit institutions; Federal, State, local, and tribal governments. Abstract: DEA requires that each registered practitioner apply to an approved credential service provider to obtain identity proofing and a credential. Hospitals and other institutional practitioners may conduct this process in house as part of their credentialing. For practitioners currently working at or affiliated with a registered hospital or clinic, the hospital/clinic have to check a government-issued photographic identification. This may be done when the hospital/clinic issues credentials to new hires or newly affiliated physicians. For individual practitioners, two people need to enter logical access control data to grant permission for practitioners authorized to approve and sign controlled substance prescriptions using the electronic prescription application. For institutional practitioners, logical access control data is entered by two people from an entity within the hospital/clinic that is separate from the entity that conducts identity proofing in-house. Similarly, pharmacies have to set logical access controls in the pharmacy application so that only authorized employees have permission to annotate or alter prescription records. Finally, if the electronic prescription or pharmacy application generates an incident report, practitioners, hospitals/clinics, and pharmacies have to review the incident report to determine if the event identified by the application represents a security incident. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The below table presents information regarding the number of respondents, hour burden per responses and associated burden hours. jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 Number of respondents Hour burden per response Burden hours Practitioners .................................................................................................................................

(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: National Use-of-Force Data Collection. (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1110–0071. 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: Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. Abstract: The FBI has a long-standing tradition of collecting data and providing statistics concerning Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) and justifiable homicides. To provide a better understanding of the incidents of use of force by law enforcement, the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program developed a new data collection for law enforcement agencies to provide information on incidents where the use of force by a law enforcement officer has led to the death or serious bodily injury of a person, as well as when a law enforcement officer discharges a firearm at or in the direction of a person. When a use of force occurs, federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies provide information to the data collection on characteristics of the incident, subjects of the use of force, and the officers who applied force in the incident. Agencies positively affirm, on a monthly basis, whether their agency did or did not have a use of force that resulted in a fatality, a serious bodily injury to a person, or a firearm discharge at or in the direction of a person. When no use-of-force incident occurs in a month, agencies submit a zero report. Enrollment information from agencies and state points of contact is collected when the agency or contact initiates participation in the data collection. Enrollment information is updated no less than annually to assist with managing this data. The new data collection defines a law enforcement officer using the current LEOKA definition: ‘‘All local, county, state, and federal law enforcement officers (such as municipal, county police officers, constables, state police, highway patrol, sheriffs, their deputies, federal law enforcement officers, marshals, special agents, etc.) who are sworn by their respective government authorities to uphold the law and to safeguard the rights, lives, and property PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60473 of American citizens. They must have full arrest powers and be members of a public governmental law enforcement agency, paid from government funds set aside specifically for payment to sworn police law enforcement organized for the purposes of keeping order and for preventing and detecting crimes, and apprehending those responsible.’’ The definition of ‘‘serious bodily injury’’ is based, in part, on 18 United States Code (U.S.C.), section 2246 (4), to mean ‘‘bodily injury that involves a substantial risk of death, unconsciousness, protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty.’’ These actions include the use of a firearm; an electronic control weapon (e.g., Taser); an explosive device; pepper or OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray or other chemical agent; a baton; an impact projectile; a blunt instrument; hands-fists-feet; or canine. (5) A total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: As of September 2021, a total of 7,185 agencies covering 443,125 law enforcement officers were enrolled in the National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The burden hours per incident are estimated to be 0.63 of an hour for completion, around 38 minutes per incident. (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: Burden estimates are based on sources from the FBI UCR Program, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The BJS recently estimated that approximately 1,400 fatalities attributed to a law enforcement use of force occur annually (Planty, et al., 2015, ArrestRelated Deaths Program: Data Quality Profile, https://www.bjs.gov/ index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5260). In addition, the CDC estimates the incidences of fatal and nonfatal injury— including those due to legal intervention—from emergency department data. In their study, The real risks during deadly police shootouts: Accuracy of the naı¨ve shooter, Lewinski, et al., (2015) estimate law enforcement officers miss their target approximately 50 percent of the time at the firing range. This information was used to develop a simple estimate for the number of times officers discharge a firearm at or in the direction of a person but do not strike the individual. In addition, the FBI UCR Program collects counts of the number of sworn and civilian law enforcement employees in the nation’s law enforcement agencies.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: National Use-of-Force Data 
Collection.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1110-0071. 
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: Federal, state, local, and tribal law 
enforcement agencies.
    Abstract: The FBI has a long-standing tradition of collecting data 
and providing statistics concerning Law Enforcement Officers Killed and 
Assaulted (LEOKA) and justifiable homicides. To provide a better 
understanding of the incidents of use of force by law enforcement, the 
Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program developed a new data collection 
for law enforcement agencies to provide information on incidents where 
the use of force by a law enforcement officer has led to the death or 
serious bodily injury of a person, as well as when a law enforcement 
officer discharges a firearm at or in the direction of a person.
    When a use of force occurs, federal, state, local, and tribal law 
enforcement agencies provide information to the data collection on 
characteristics of the incident, subjects of the use of force, and the 
officers who applied force in the incident. Agencies positively affirm, 
on a monthly basis, whether their agency did or did not have a use of 
force that resulted in a fatality, a serious bodily injury to a person, 
or a firearm discharge at or in the direction of a person. When no use-
of-force incident occurs in a month, agencies submit a zero report. 
Enrollment information from agencies and state points of contact is 
collected when the agency or contact initiates participation in the 
data collection. Enrollment information is updated no less than 
annually to assist with managing this data.
    The new data collection defines a law enforcement officer using the 
current LEOKA definition: ``All local, county, state, and federal law 
enforcement officers (such as municipal, county police officers, 
constables, state police, highway patrol, sheriffs, their deputies, 
federal law enforcement officers, marshals, special agents, etc.) who 
are sworn by their respective government authorities to uphold the law 
and to safeguard the rights, lives, and property of American citizens. 
They must have full arrest powers and be members of a public 
governmental law enforcement agency, paid from government funds set 
aside specifically for payment to sworn police law enforcement 
organized for the purposes of keeping order and for preventing and 
detecting crimes, and apprehending those responsible.''
    The definition of ``serious bodily injury'' is based, in part, on 
18 United States Code (U.S.C.), section 2246 (4), to mean ``bodily 
injury that involves a substantial risk of death, unconsciousness, 
protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment 
of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty.'' These 
actions include the use of a firearm; an electronic control weapon 
(e.g., Taser); an explosive device; pepper or OC (oleoresin capsicum) 
spray or other chemical agent; a baton; an impact projectile; a blunt 
instrument; hands-fists-feet; or canine.
    (5) A total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated 
for an average respondent to respond: As of September 2021, a total of 
7,185 agencies covering 443,125 law enforcement officers were enrolled 
in the National Use-of-Force Data Collection. The burden hours per 
incident are estimated to be 0.63 of an hour for completion, around 38 
minutes per incident.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: Burden estimates are based on sources from the FBI 
UCR Program, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and the Centers 
for Disease Control (CDC). The BJS recently estimated that 
approximately 1,400 fatalities attributed to a law enforcement use of 
force occur annually (Planty, et al., 2015, Arrest-Related Deaths 
Program: Data Quality Profile, https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5260). In addition, the CDC estimates the 
incidences of fatal and nonfatal injury--including those due to legal 
intervention--from emergency department data. In their study, The real 
risks during deadly police shootouts: Accuracy of the na[iuml]ve 
shooter, Lewinski, et al., (2015) estimate law enforcement officers 
miss their target approximately 50 percent of the time at the firing 
range. This information was used to develop a simple estimate for the 
number of times officers discharge a firearm at or in the direction of 
a person but do not strike the individual. In addition, the FBI UCR 
Program collects counts of the number of sworn and civilian law 
enforcement employees in the nation's law enforcement agencies.
