longer be required going forward. ATF Form 5630.7 will be the only form
necessary to fulfill the requirement for this IC.

10. Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden: The estimated cost
for all 16,659 respondents to mail the SOT form (ATF Form 5630.7) is
$.63 per person. Therefore the public cost associated with this IC is
$10,495.
