OMB appreciates
the continued collaboration between CJIS and BJS to learn more
about the barriers for increasing law enforcement agency
participation in NIBRS, and effective ways for addressing those
barriers. OMB requests that upon resubmission of this collection
for renewal that the agency provide OMB with an update on the
progress made around recruitment. As per the previous terms of
clearance, OMB requests that CJIS keep it apprised of progress at
appropriate times, but no less than annually, during the 3 years in
which this collection is approved under the PRA with the next
update coming in June 2016. In addition, OMB requests that the
agency pay close attention to and develop a process for dealing
with issues that are identified by the National Academies panel and
by LEAs regarding the user-friendliness of NIBRS for participants,
particularly newly recruited participants, and the utility of the
data for various policy and program stakeholders.
