The form has been revised to include the new classes (types) of

explosives. The current type codes are obsolete. ATF will now
categorize explosives licenses and permits by only six major classes.
The classes are: Manufacturer, Dealer, Importer, User, User-Limited and
Type 60. The form will still capture the types of explosives materials
being manufactured, imported, acquired and used by explosives licensees
and permittees, however, they will no longer be classified by type
code.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated
10,000 respondents will complete a 1 hour and 30 minutes form.

collection: There are an estimated 15,000 total burden hours associated
with this collection.
