Overview of this information collection:
(1) Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
[[Page 44151]]
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL)
Enrollment/National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) E-
Check Enrollment Form, Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Officer/Employee
Acknowledgment of Responsibilities under the NICS Form,
Responsibilities of a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) under the
National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Form.
(3) Agency form number: 1110-0026.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Primary: Any Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) or State Point of
Contact (POC) requesting access to conduct National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS) checks telephonically or by the internet
through the NICS E-Check.
Brief Abstract: The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993
required the United States Attorney General to establish a National
Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) that any Federal
Firearms Licensee (FFL) may contact, by telephone or other electronic
means, for information to be supplied immediately on whether receipt of
a firearm to a prospective purchaser would violate state or federal
law. Information pertaining to FFLs who may contact the NICS is
collected to manage and control access to the NICS and to the NICS E-
Check, to ensure appropriate resources are available to support the
NICS, and to ensure the privacy and security of NICS information. For
more information regarding the NICS, please visit <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/nics">https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/nics</a>.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond:
It is estimated that 380 FFLs enroll with the NICS per month for a
total of 4,560 enrollments per year. The average response time for
reading the directions for the National Instant Criminal Background
Check System (NICS) Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Enrollment/NICS E-
Check Enrollment Form is estimated to be two minutes; time to complete
the form is estimated to be three minutes; and the time it takes to
assemble, mail, or fax the form to the FBI is estimated to be three
minutes, for a total of eight minutes. The average hour burden for this
specific form is 4,560 x 8 minutes/60 = 608 hours.
The FFL Officer/Employee Acknowledgment of Responsibilities Form
under the NICS takes approximately three minutes to read the
responsibilities and two minutes to complete the form, for a total of
five minutes. The average hour burden for this specific form is 4,560 x
5 minutes/60 = 380 hours.
The Responsibilities of an FFL under the NICS Form takes an
additional two minutes to read which would be 4,560 x 2 minutes/60 =
152 hours.
The entire process of reading the material and completing both
forms would take 15 minutes per respondent. The average hour burden for
completing both forms and reading the material would be 4,560 x 15/60 =
1,140 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection:
The entire process of reading the material and completing both
forms would take 15 minutes per respondent. The average hour burden
would be 4,560 x 15/60 = 1,140 hours.
