Overview of This Information Collection

    Abstract: State and local government agencies will use the 
Application for Registration of Firearms Acquired by Certain 
Governmental Entities--ATF Form 10 (5320.10) to register an otherwise 
unregisterable National Firearms Act (NFA). The NFA requires the 
registration of certain firearms under Federal Law. The Form 10 
registration allows State and local agencies to comply with the NFA, 
and retain and use firearms that would otherwise have to be destroyed.
    Type of information collection: Reinstatement of a previously 
approved collection without change.
    Title of the form/collection: Application for Registration of

as the obligation to respond: Affected public: state, local, and tribal 
governments. Obligation to respond: required to obtain or retain a 
benefit.
    Estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time 
estimated for an average respondent to respond: There are an estimated 
862 respondents associated with this collection per year, and it will 
take each respondent an average of approximately 30 minutes to complete 
their responses.
    Estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated with the 
collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with this

respondents) * 1 (# of responses per respondent) * .5 (30 minutes).
