order for the FBI UCR Program to serve as the national clearinghouse
for the collection and dissemination of hate crime data and to publish
these statistics annually in ``Hate Crime Statistics''. This provides
for the national UCR Program a record of each hate crime incident
including the offense classification and its respective bias

incident, the number of suspected offenders, the suspected offender's
race, and whether the victims and offenders are under 18 or over the

potential of 18,290 law enforcement agency respondents; 11,357 for the
Summary Reporting System (SRS) and 6,933 for the National Incident-
Based Reporting System (NIBRS). NIBRS burden hours are collected on the
NIBRS Information
[[Page 40780]]
Collection Request. Calculated estimates for an SRS respondent to
respond indicate 7 minutes per quarter. The total annual burden hour
per respondent is 28 minutes. Total Annual Hour Burden: 7 minutes x 4
quarters = 28 minutes.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There are approximately 5,300 hours, annual
burden, associated with this information collection.
11,357 respondents x 4 responses/year = 45,428 total annual responses.
45,428 x 7 minutes/60 minutes = 5,300 total annual hour burden.
(This burden estimate does not include the 6,933 NIBRS agencies; the
NIBRS burden hours are captured in the NIBRS Information Collection
