Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Relief of Disabilities and
Application for Restoration of Explosives Privileges.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 5400.29.
The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, in the Explosives
Enforcement Branch.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Primary: Individuals.
Other (if applicable): None.
Abstract: ATF is charged with the responsibility for enforcing
Title XI of the Organized Crime Control Act (the Act) of 1970 and the
implementing regulations contained at 27 CFR, Part 555. Subtitle C of
Public Law 107-296, the Safe Explosives Act, enacted November 25, 2003,
amended the Act to give the Director authority to grant relief from
disability for any person who is prohibited from shipping,
transporting, receiving, or possessing an explosive under section
842(i) of the Act. The regulations at 27 CFR, Section 555.142 state
that the Director may grant relief to an applicant if it is established
to the satisfaction of the Director that the circumstances regarding
the disability and the applicant's record and reputation are such that
the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public
safety. The ATF Form 5400.29, Application for Restoration of Explosives
Privileges, is used by ATF to conduct background investigations on all
applicants for restoration of explosives privileges. In an effort to
ensure that any person applying for restoration of explosives
privileges has a record and reputation such that the applicant will not
be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and that the
granting of such relief would not be contrary to the public interest,
ATF proposes that all applicants complete ATF Form 5400.29.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: We estimated that
there are a total of 300 respondents associated with this information
collection request. We estimate that each respondent will
[[Page 79100]]
spend approximately 30 minutes completing this form.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: Assuming all 300 responses are collected and
multiplied by the average 30 minutes needed to complete this form (300
Respondents x .50 hours = 150 hours). The total annual burden hours
associated with this request is 150 hours.
