An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the collection, if applicable: According to the cost model provided by the FBI's CJIS Division, Resources Management Section, Fee Programs Unit (FPU), the following are projections based upon prior collection activity. The cost module does not separate the costs between the two methods of collecting UCR data. The FPU cannot provide an itemized breakdown of separate UCR collections, so provided is a total cost of the FBI's UCR Program and its collection activities.
