Overview of This Information Collection

1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously approved collection.

2. Title of the Form/Collection: Cargo Theft Incident Report.

3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: Cargo Theft Incident Report.

4. Affected Public: Law Enforcement Agencies.

Abstract: This survey is needed to collect reports of cargo theft offenses reported by Federal, State, local, Tribal, university/college, and territorial LEAs. It should be noted cargo theft offenses are being collected under the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) as of January 1, 2021. However, some agencies did not complete the transition to NIBRS by the given date. Therefore, the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program continues to collect cargo theft information under the Summary Reporting System (SRS). This practice will only occur for a short period of time after which the FBI's UCR Program will no longer accept new cargo theft data from those agencies not yet participating in NIBRS ( i.e., SRS agencies). When the extension officially expires, the FBI's UCR Program will only accept updates to previously reported cargo theft incidents submitted by SRS agencies via the Cargo Theft Incident Report. The updated information will be added to the master file for historical purposes.

5. Obligation to Respond: Voluntary.

6. Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 22,433.

7. Estimated Time per Respondent: 5 minutes.

8. Frequency: Annually.

9. Total Estimated Annual Time Burden: 2,170 hours.

10. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: $0.
