Revisions to This Information Collection
Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0091 is being revised to
change the surveys sent by mail to emailed surveys, and now to online
surveys. In addition, ATF has streamlined the invitation process. As a
result of these changes, the time burden for individual respondents has
decreased from .5 hours to .25 hours. In addition, the number of arson
and explosives crime scene events was lower during the past three
years, resulting in a decrease in the annual number of respondents,
from 32 in 2022 to 18, a decrease of 14 respondents. These combined
changes have resulted in a corresponding decrease in total hourly
burden from 16 to five, a decrease of 11 hours. In addition, ATF has
added a monetized value for the time burden, due to new OMB request,
which has not been in previous ICRs.
Public Comments
ATF did not receive comments on this information collection during
the 60-day notice and comment period.
