SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical
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
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Abstract: The regulations at 27 CFR 555.57 require that all persons
holding ATF explosives licenses or permits as of May 23, 2003, must
report descriptive information on their responsible persons and
possessors of explosives to ATF. Subsequent changes to their list of
persons must also be reported. The information collection (IC) OMB
1140-0074 (Explosives Responsible Person Questionnaire--ATF Form
5400.13A/5400.16) is being revised to add a new form (Part B) to the
existing requirement. The information collected on this new form will
be replacing the Responsible Persons List, which was previously
included on (IC) OMB 1140-0070 (Application for Explosives License or
Permit--ATF Form 5400.13/5400.16). The new (Part B) will be used to
gather information for each Explosives Responsible Person.
Additionally, this collection includes a decrease in both, the total
number of respondents by 38,125 and the total burden hours by 40
minutes since the last renewal in 2022.

5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated
11,875 respondents will respond to this collection once annually, and
it will take each respondent approximately 20 minutes to complete their
responses.
