-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF), will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. The proposed information collection OMB Number 1140-0060
(Firearms Disabilities for Nonimmigrant Aliens), is being revised due
to a reduction in burden, since there is a decrease in the number of
respondents, response time, and total burden hours from the previous
renewal in 2015. The proposed information collection is also being
published to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until
June 5, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments,
particularly with respect to the estimated public burden or associated
response time, have suggestions, need a copy of the proposed
information collection instrument with instructions, or desire any
additional information, please contact L. William Babbie, ATF Firearms
& Explosives Industry Division either by mail at 99 New York Avenue NE,
Washington, DC 20226, by email at [email protected],
or by telephone at 202-648-7252.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
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 agency, 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
-- Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are 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
submission of responses.

[[Page 14891]]
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Primary: Business or other for-profit.
Other (if applicable): None.
Abstract: The nonimmigrant alien information is used to determine
if a nonimmigrant alien is eligible to obtain a Federal firearms
license and purchase, obtain, possess, or import a firearm.
Nonimmigrant aliens also must maintain the documents while in
possession of firearms or ammunition in the United States for
verification purposes.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 1,434
respondents will respond once to this information collection, and it
will take each respondent approximately 4.08 minutes to provide their
responses.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with
this collection is 98 hours, which is equal to 1,434 (# of responses) *
.068 hours (4.08 minutes).
7. An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The decrease in the
total number of respondents by 14, 347, the time taken for each
response by 2 minutes, as well as a reduction in total burden 1,489
respectively, is due to the change in methodology used to calculate the
current public burden, which differs from that which was used during
the previous renewal in 2015.
