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

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

Abstract: The Demand 2 Program requires Type 01 and Type 02 Federal
Firearm Licensees (FFLs) with 25 or more traces with a time to crime of
three years or less in a calendar year, to submit an annual report
followed by quarterly reports of used firearms acquired by the FFL. Due
to the growing number of Type 07 (Manufacturer of Firearms) FFLs
meeting Demand 2 criteria through dealing firearms--with many showing
little to no manufacturing activity--and the potential that some FFLs
may use a Type 08 (Importer of Firearms) license to deal in firearms
and avoid the reporting requirement if Type 08 is not subjected to
Demand 2, ATF is including Type 07 and Type 08 licensees within the
Demand 2 Program. Information collection OMB # 1140-0024 is being
revised to now include Type 07 and 08 FFLs as a population that is
subject to the reporting requirements of the Demand 2 program. The
Demand 2 program is an important tool to assist in identifying and
investigating the diversion of firearms
[[Page 75582]]
from lawful commerce to criminal use. Information from the Demand 2
program helps identify purchasing patterns involved in trafficking
schemes and other forms of criminal diversion, and enhances the ability
of law enforcement to determine the source of firearms used in violent
crimes.
Overview of This Information Collection:
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Demand 2 Program: Report of
Firearms Transactions.

5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 1,453
respondents will respond to this collection 4 times annually, and it
will take each respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete their
responses.
