There will be an increase in
burden for the individual respondents as a result of including a
burden estimate for state program manager and local LEA outreach;
however, the overall annual burden hours have decreased. This
adjustment, from 20,866 to 16,983 is a decrease of 3,883. The
decrease in burden is due to SRS agencies transitioning to
NIBRS.
