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: ATF uses ATF Form 8620.69, Request for Temporary 
Eligibility to Hold a Sensitive Position, to notify candidates of the 
option to receive temporary employment after a certain stage in the 
background check process and request their decision. ATF also uses the 
form to collect information to determine if the candidate (respondent) 
can be granted temporary eligibility to hold a sensitive position prior 
to completion and adjudication of their full background investigation. 
Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0122 will no longer include the 
cost of mailing as it can now be filled, signed, and submitted 
electronically. Consequentially, the total cost of this IC has 
decreased from $2,000 to $0.
