approximately 3.05 hours to complete their responses.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with
this collection is 347,703 hours, which is equal to 114,001 (total

associated with this collection includes an increase in the total
respondents and responses by 62,025, due to the addition of Type 01/02
firearms dealers and Type 03 firearms collectors. Consequently, the
total burden hours have also increased by 189,176 since the last
renewal in 2020.
