    Abstract: State and local government agencies will use the 
Application for Registration of Firearms Acquired by Certain 
Governmental Entities--ATF Form 10 (5320.10) to register an otherwise 
unregistrable National Firearms Act (NFA). The NFA requires the 
registration of certain firearms under Federal Law. The Form 10 
registration allows State and local agencies to comply with the NFA, 
and retain and use firearms that would otherwise have to be destroyed.

under 27 CFR 479.104.
    6. Total Estimated Number of Respondents: 862 respondents.

    10. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: The cost to the 
respondent is postage. Therefore, the total cost burden is calculated

class postage) = $ 543.06 or $543.
