    DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for

collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously 
approved collection.
    2. Title of the Form/Collection: Cargo Theft Incident Report.
    3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Cargo Theft Incident 
Report.
    4. Affected Public: Law Enforcement Agencies.
    Abstract: This survey is needed to collect reports of cargo theft 
offenses reported by Federal, State, local, Tribal, university/college, 
and territorial LEAs. It should be noted cargo theft offenses are being 
collected under the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) as 
of January 1, 2021. However, some agencies did not complete the 
transition to NIBRS by the given date. Therefore, the FBI's Uniform 
Crime Reporting (UCR) Program continues to collect cargo theft 
information under the Summary Reporting System (SRS). This practice 
will only occur for a short period of time after which the FBI's UCR 
Program will no longer accept new cargo theft data from those agencies 
not yet participating in NIBRS (i.e., SRS agencies). When the extension 
officially expires, the FBI's UCR Program will

only accept updates to previously reported cargo theft incidents 
submitted by SRS agencies via the Cargo Theft Incident Report. The 
updated information will be added to the master file for historical 
purposes.
    5. Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.
    6. Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 22,433.
    7. Estimated Time per Respondent: 5 minutes.
    8. Frequency: Annually.
    9. Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 2,170 hours.
    10. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.

Management Division, United States Department of Justice, Two
