-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, will be submitting the following

(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995.

Shelley Hyland, Statistician, Law Enforcement Statistics, Bureau of 
Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street NW., Washington, DC 20531 
(email: [email protected]; telephone: 202-616-1706).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice 
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the

[[Page 27476]]

information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection: New collection.
    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Survey of State Criminal 
Investigative Agencies on Law Enforcement Use of Force.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: No agency form number at this 
time. The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the 
Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office of Justice Programs.
    (4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Respondents will be state criminal 
investigative agencies (SCIAs). Abstract: The President's Task Force on 
21st Century Policing called for law enforcement agencies to use 
external and independent criminal investigation of use of force 
incidents. In some states, the criminal investigative agency serves as 
the primary body that local and county law enforcement agencies use as 
the independent investigator. However, it is currently unknown how 
common this is nationwide. This survey will be administered to all 
state criminal investigative agencies (SCIAs) in order to determine the 
extent to which SCIAs are investigating use of force cases for other 
law enforcement agencies. SCIAs will be asked about the types of use of 
force incidents investigated and the jurisdictions covered within the 
state. The survey will also assess how SCIAs become involved in these 
investigations, how cases are closed, the data systems that SCIAs use 
to record and report on use of force investigations, and the total 
number of law enforcement use of force cases investigated in a three 
year period.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An agency-level 
survey will be sent to a representative at all 49 SCIAs. The expected 
burden placed on these respondents is about 52.5 minutes per 
respondent.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The total respondent burden is approximately 42.9 
burden hours.
