SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of the following four points:
-Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice Statistics, including whether the information will have practical utility;
-Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
-Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
-Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
Abstract: The information collection is necessary for the safety of emergency response personnel responding to fires at sites where explosives are stored. Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0071 is being revised to update the overall public burden, which includes the monetized value of the hour burden per response, an increase of respondents from 975 to 10,000, and increased postage cost from 49 cents to 73 cents. Together, these changes resulted in an increase in annual burden hours from 488 to 5,000, an annual monetized value of the hour burden increase to $223,950, and an annual increase in postage costs from $359 to $1,825.
