Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The number of respondents reported in the previous submission was erroneous. Rather than 2300, the number should have been 2563. Therefore, although it shows in ROCIS that the number of respondents increased, in reality the number of respondents decreased from 2563 to 2549 due to a reduction in the sample universe, which are local police jurisdictions. The reduction in burden is due to adjustments in the estimated time it takes to complete the survey.
