    The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) of the Department of Justice is submitting a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve a survey about forensic crime laboratories. This survey, called the Census of Publicly Funded Forensic Crime Laboratories (CPFFCL), aims to collect data from state and local government agencies, specifically from 350 crime laboratories, on their staffing, budgets, and challenges. Public comments on the survey can be submitted until March 3, 2025, and participation in the survey is voluntary. The collected data will help provide insight into forensic crime laboratories and will be shared in published reports by the BJS.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to ask 350 crime labs about their work and any problems they face to learn more about them. They hope people will answer even though it's up to them, and they will use the information to make helpful reports.

    On December 21, 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a Public Notice seeking public comments on a proposed national database for 911 call center contact information. The notice was prompted by a letter from the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), which supports the database but suggests it should be voluntary and include protections for providers in case the information is inaccurate. Public comments on the proposal are due within 30 days of its publication in the Federal Register. Comments can be submitted electronically or by mail, with specific guidelines provided for each method.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to make a list to help 911 call centers talk to each other better, and they are asking people what they think about it. Some people think it should be okay if the list isn't perfect, and that it should be a choice to join the list.
