BURDEN STATEMENT
Federal agencies may not conduct or sponsor an information collection, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information,
unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 60
minutes per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate, or any other aspects of this collection of
information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Director, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street, NW, Washington, DC
20531. The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended (42 USC 3732), authorizes this information collection. Although
this survey is voluntary, we need your participation to make the results comprehensive, accurate, and timely.
