Abstract: Section 922 of chapter 44 of title 18 requires persons
wishing to be licensed to complete ATF Form 7 (5310.12A)/7CR (5310.16)
and for persons wishing to be added as a responsible person to complete
Part B of ATF Form 7 (5310.12A)/7CR (5310.16) to certify compliance
with provisions of the law for the FFL business. The information
collection (IC) OMB #1140-0018 is being revised to include material and
non-material changes to the form, such as formatting changes to include
an added header (added ``Part B--Responsible Person Questionnaire'' to
the top of the page), spelling corrections, added verbiage, added
references, grammatical changes (sentence rephrasing/statement
modification), and updated definitions. There is also an increase in
the average total respondents and responses from 13,000 per year to
25,000 per year, since the last renewal in 2020. Consequentially, the
total annual burden hours have increased by 12,000 hours.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Federal
Firearms License and Part B--Responsible Person Questionnaire.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection:
Form number: ATF Form 7 (5310.12)/7CR (5310.16).
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 the obligation to respond: Affected Public: Individuals or
households, Private Sector--business or other for-profit. The
obligation to respond is mandatory. The statutory requirements are
implemented in section 922 of chapter 44 of title 18.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated
25,000 respondents will respond to this collection annually, and it
will take each respondent approximately 1 hour to complete their
responses.
6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with
this collection is 25,000 hours, which is equal to 25,000 (total
respondents) * 1 (# of response per respondent) * 1 (60 minutes).
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable: The annual cost burden associated with this
collection has increased due to a change in the postal rate from $0.55
during the last renewal in 2020, to $0.63 in 2023. Consequently, the
new public cost burden reported has also increased by $2,000 from
$13,750 to $15,750.00, which is equal to .63 (mailing cost per
respondent) * 25,000 (# of respondents).
