(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Quarterly Hate Crime Report
and Hate Crime Incident Report.
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form numbers are 1-699
and 1-700. The applicable component within the Department of Justice,

(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The affected public who are asked to
voluntarily respond is city, county, state, tribal, and federal U.S.
law enforcement. Under Title 28, U.S. Code, Section 534, this
information collection requests hate crime data from respondents in
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 crime incident including the
offense classification and its respective bias motivation, the number
and type of victims, the location of the incident, the number of
suspected offenders, the suspected offender's race, and whether the
victims and offenders are under 18 or over the age of 18.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: There is a
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 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
Request.)
