Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Identification of Explosive
Materials.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form number: None. Sponsor
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
(if applicable): None. Abstract: Marking of explosives enables law
enforcement entities better trace explosives from the manufacturer
through the distribution chain to the end purchaser. This process is
used as a tool in criminal enforcement activities.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 2,066
respondents will respond to this IC approximately 520 times, and it
will take each respondent an average 3 seconds twice per day to provide
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 895.3 or 895 hours, which is equal to 2,066 (# of
respondents) * 260 (number of workdays) * 0.001666 hours (average time
to complete each response).
7. An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The adjustment
associated with this collection is a decrease in the number of
respondents by 87. Consequently, the total responses and burden hours
were reduced by 45,240 and 38 hours respectively, since the last
renewal in 2019.
