Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Voluntary Appeal File (VAF)
Application Form.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: 1110-0043 The applicable
component within the Department of Justice is the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Potential firearm purchasers. If a
potential purchaser is delayed or denied a firearm and successfully
appeals the decision, the NICS Section cannot retain a record of the
overturned appeal or the supporting documentation. If the record is not
able to be updated or the fingerprints are non-identical to a
disqualifying record used in the evaluation, the purchaser continues to
be delayed or denied, and if that individual appeals the decision, the
documentation/information (e.g., fingerprint cards, court records,
pardons, etc.) must be resubmitted for every subsequent purchase. The
VAF was established per 28 CFR, Part 25.10(g), for this reason. By this
process, applicants can voluntarily request the NICS Section maintain
information about themselves in the VAF to prevent future extended
delays or denials of a firearm transfer.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
the time it takes to read, complete, and upload documents is 30
minutes. Travel time to the fingerprinting facility and post office is
not factored in the time estimate. The BSS Section estimates 3,737
respondents yearly.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: With 3,737 applicants responding, the formula for
applicant burden hours would be as follows: (3,737 respondents x .5
hours) = 1,868.5 hours.
