Short Statement: When the LESDC was in the development stage, the FBI’s UCR Program collaborated with BH as part of the LESDC task force and used their collected data to estimate an expected response number for calculating annual burden. In 2019, there were 238 suicide deaths of LEOs. In 2020, the number reported by BH was 174. Based on the volume reported and accounting for the expanded scope of the LESDC, as compared to the BH collection, it was estimated the LESDC could reasonably expect to receive an estimated 300 responses of suicides or attempted suicides from the law enforcement demographic on an annual basis. Additionally, the FBI’s UCR Program anticipated an average of 25-30 minutes for LEAs to respond. An assessment of reasonable estimates for the additional demographics to include corrections, legal system, and telecommunications was unavailable. However, based on responses received during the useability assessment, internal testing procedures, and the pilot, along with data submitted to the FBI’s UCR Program since the inception of the LESDC, it has been estimated that 50 responses will be received, and an average of 15 minutes will be required to complete the report. Consequently, the burden for respondents has been reduced to an estimated 12.5 hours. The time for outreach remains at 300 hours for a total annual burden of 312.5 hours for the LESDC.
