DOJ seeks approval of a new case reporting for the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces ("ICACs"). DOJ requests emergency processing of its request to implement a mandatory case reporting form for these task forces. As set forth below, this reporting requirement is essential to ensuring that federal tax dollars are being used in the manner intended by Congress and the Administration and to ensuring optimal intergovernmental and interagency coordination by ICACs.
Emergency processing is required because grant renewals and new ICAC grantee awards are imminent. If the mandatory, quarterly reporting requirement is not incorporated in ICAC grant renewals, then DOJÂs efforts to monitor and confirm the effective use of taxpayer dollars through mandatory reporting and to coordinate the efforts of ICACs with U.S. AttorneyÂs offices may be delayed for another twelve months.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
