[[Page 19002]]

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
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
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 
submission of responses.

    Abstract: Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 843(i)(1), ATF requires licensed 
manufacturers and importers and persons who manufacture or import 
explosives materials or ammonium nitrate to submit samples at the 
request of the Director. This collection of information is contained in 
27 CFR 555.110.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a previously 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Furnishing of Explosives 
Samples.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form number: None. 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: State, local and 
Tribal governments, individuals or households, Private Sector-for or 
not for profit institutions, Federal Government. The obligation to 
respond is mandatory per 18 U.S.C. 843(i)(1).
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 100 
respondents will respond to this collection once annually, and it will 
take each respondent approximately 30 minutes 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 50 total hours, which is equal to 100 (total 
respondents) * 1 (# of response per respondent) * 0.5 (30 minutes).
    7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the 
collection, if applicable: ATF estimates an additional cost to each 
respondent of $20 for the cost of the explosive materials. The total 
cost of the materials is therefore $2,000 (100 respondents * $20). 
However, the regulations at 27 CFR 555.110 provide for reimbursement of 
the cost of the materials. Therefore, this cost is reported as 0.
