Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of information collection: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
(2) The title of the form/collection: Licensed Firearms
Manufacturers Records of Production, Disposition, and Supporting Data.
(3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection:
Form number: None.
Component: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,
U.S. Department of Justice.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Primary: Business or other for-profit.
Other: None.
Abstract: Firearms manufacturers must create and maintain permanent
records of all firearms manufactured and disposed of. These records
support the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives'
mission to inquire into the disposition of any firearm, during the
course of a criminal investigation.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated
10,513 respondents will respond 677.12822 times per year to this
information collection, and it will take each respondent approximately
1.06 minutes to complete a response.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with
this collection is 123,801 hours, which is equal to 10,513 (# of
respondents) * 677.12822 (# of responses per respondent) * .0176728
(1.06 minutes).
(7) An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The increase in
total respondents by 1,457, is due to more firearms manufacturers
responding to this collection. However, the total responses and burdens
hours decreased by 4,378,792 and 75,4040 hours respectively, because
less firearms were produced since the last renewal of this collection
in 2018.
