Abstract: Under title 28, United States Code, sections 534(a) and (c), this collection requests homicide data from respondents for the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program to serve as the national clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of homicide and other crime-related data and to publish these statistics. SHR collects details about all murders and nonnegligent manslaughters (including justifiable homicides) and negligent manslaughters. The details include the reporting agency; month and year; situation; age, sex, race, and ethnicity of the victim(s) and the offender(s); weapon type used; relationship of the victim(s) to the offender(s); and circumstance(s) surrounding the incident (e.g., argument, robbery, gang related), if known. Overview of This Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously approved collection. 2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR). 3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 1–704. The applicable component within DOJ is the CJIS Division, FBI. 4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as the obligation to respond: Affected Public: State, local and tribal governments, Federal Government. The obligation to respond is voluntary. 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated number of LEAs submitting SHR data to the UCR Program monthly via the Summary Reporting System is 6,652. Annually, those LEAs submit a total of 79,824 responses (6,652 LEAs × 12 months = 79,824 responses annually). The estimated time it takes for an average respondent to respond is nine minutes. 6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The estimated number of LEAs submitting SHR data to the UCR Program monthly via the Summary Reporting System is 6,652. Annually, those LEAs submit a total of 79,824 responses (6,652 LEAs × 12 months = 79,824 responses annually). The estimated time it takes for an average respondent to respond is nine minutes. 7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the collection, if applicable: Currently, LEAs incur no direct costs by participating in the FBI UCR Program. With the renewal of this collection, respondents are not expected to incur any capital, start-up, or system maintenance costs. Costs to agency records management systems are very difficult to obtain. Vendors do not divulge costs because charges differ from agency to agency and many costs are built into vendors’ contracts. Depending on the contract, charges mandated by law may be included with no other additional costs. However, an estimate has been projected that agencies pay a $107,000 maintenance fee every year for system maintenance costs.
