Summary of changes: Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0031 is
being revised to change the title from `Records of Acquisition and
Disposition, Registered Importers of Arms, Ammunition & Implements of
War on the U.S. Munitions Import List' to `Records of Acquisition and
Disposition by Registered Importers of Arms, Ammunition, and Defense
Articles on the U.S. Munitions Import List' to reflect a change in
terminology. It is also being slightly revised in the section
describing the purpose, to clarify the record-keeping requirements,
although those requirements are not changing. In addition, it is being
revised to update the time burdens to the public, to keep up with
changes to the number of respondents, and to apply a monetized value to
the time burden.
Abstract: The records associated with this collection are defense
articles other than firearms and ammunition enumerated on the U.S.
Munitions Import List. This collection requires importers of such items
to maintain records of their importing activities, including the ATF
Forms 6 and 6A they submit.
