Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 2024 / Notices
address one or more of the following
four points:
—Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, 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 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 technological
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Abstract: Under title 28 U.S.C. 534,
subsections (a) and (c); the Hate Crime
Statistics Act, 34 U.S.C. 41305, modified
by the Matthew Shepard and James
Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act
(2009), Public Law, section 4708; and
the Uniform Federal Crime Reporting
Act of 1988, 34 U.S.C. 41303, this
information collection requests hate
crime data from LEAs in order for the
FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
Program to serve as the national
clearinghouse for the collection and
dissemination of hate crime data and to
publish these statistics annually in
various data releases. The hate crime
data provide information about the bias
motivation, offenses, victims, offenders,
and locations of hate crime incidents.
Overview of This Information
Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
(2) The Title of the Form/Collection:
Hate Crime Incident Report.
(3) The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
The form number is 1–700. The
applicable component within the 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
Primary: Federal, state, local, tribal,
university/college, and territorial law
enforcement agencies (LEAs). 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 monthly data to the FBI’s
UCR Program is 15,588. Annually, those
LEAs submit a total of 187,056
responses (15,588 LEAs × 12 months =
187,056 annual responses). The
estimated time it takes for an average
response is seven minutes.
(6) An estimate of the total annual
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated annual public
burden associated with the Hate Crime
Data Collection is 21,823 hours
[(187,056 annual responses × 7 minutes
per response)/60 minutes per hour =
21,823.2 total annual hours].
(7) An estimate of the total annual
cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: $0.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Under section 101(c) of the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, any
mine operator or representative of
miners may petition to use an
alternative approach to comply with a
mandatory safety standard. In response,
the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) or his

less protection for the miners affected
than that provided by the standard; or
(2) the application of the standard will
result in a diminution of safety to the
affected miners.
MSHA bases the final decision on the
petitioner’s statements, any comments
and information submitted by interested
persons, and a field investigation of the
conditions at the mine. In some
instances, MSHA may approve a
petition for modification on the
condition that the mine operator
complies with other requirements noted
in the decision. In other instances,
MSHA may deny, dismiss, or revoke a
petition for modification. In accordance
with 30 CFR 44.5, MSHA publishes
every final action granting a petition for
modification.
