eComments Requested; Extension of a Previously Approved Collection

AGENCY: Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
Critical Incident Response Group, Investigative and Operational Support 
Section, National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC).

ACTION: 30-day notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
Critical Incident Response Group has submitted the following 
information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with established review 
procedures of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This proposed 
information collection was previously published in the Federal Register 
allowing for a 60 day comment period.

DATES:  Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for an additional 
30 days until February 23, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  If you have additional comments 
especially on the estimated public burden or associated response time, 
suggestions, or need a copy of the proposed information collection 
instrument with instructions or additional information, please contact 
Lesa Marcolini, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Critical Incident 
Response Group, FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia 22135.

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 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: Extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: FBI-NCAVC Satisfaction Survey.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the

[[Page 8214]]

Department sponsoring the collection: There is no agency form number 
applicable to this survey.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Federal, state, local, and tribal government law 
enforcement agencies to which the NCAVC has provided investigative 
assistance.
    Abstract: The mission of the National Center for the Analysis of 
Violent Crime (NCAVC) combines investigative and operational support 
functions, research, and training in order to provide assistance, 
without charge, to law enforcement agencies investigating unusual or 
repetitive violent crimes. The NCAVC also provides support through 
expertise and consultation in non-violent matters such as national 
security, corruption, and white-collar crime investigations.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated 
that 100 respondents per calendar year will be contacted to complete a 
survey consisting of 11 questions. An approximate non-response rate of 
50% is anticipated. It is estimated that a burden of approximately 
three to five minutes, or .05 to .08 hours, will be cast upon each 
respondent to complete the survey, with a total estimate of five to 8.3 
hours in a calendar year for all respondents combined, if all 
respondents complete a survey. If the expected non-response rate of 50% 
holds true, then the combined burden estimate drops to approximately 
2.5 to 4.2 hours per calendar year. The NCAVC estimates little to no 
variability within this time estimate based upon on individualized data 
retrieval systems, availability of requested data, and other variables, 
because this survey is intended to assess customer satisfaction rather 
than generate empirical data.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 20-32 annual burden hours.
    If additional information is required contact: Melody Braswell, 
Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice, 
Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two 
Constitution Square, 145 N Street NE., 3E.405B, Washington, DC 20530.
