utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so, how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and

Abstract: Per 18 U.S.C. 845 (Licenses and user permits) applicants
must submit ATF Form 5400.13/5400.16 to determine if the applicant is
qualified to be a licensee or permittee under the provisions of the
statute. The form will be submitted to ATF to determine whether the
person who provided the information, is qualified to be issued a
license or permit. The information collection (IC) OMB 1140-0070
(Application for Explosives License or Permit--ATF F 5400.13/5400.16)
is being revised due to material changes to the form, such as a revised
format and layout to improve user experience, removal of the
Responsible Persons List along with accompanying sections, removal of
the Explosives Storage Magazine Description Worksheet and replaced with
a condensed version as a question.
