This information collection documents
certain sales or other dispositions of handguns for law enforcement
purposes, and determines if the buyer is involved in an unlawful
activity, or is a person prohibited by law from obtaining
firearms.
The increase in the number of
respondents by 4,106, the total responses by 126,768 and the IC
burden hours by 31,692, are due to a revision of agency estimates
and a general increase in the number of respondents since the last
renewal in 2015. The total cost burden is also due to the amount of
respondents that actually mail in their completed form to the ATF
for processing, which amounts to 13% of the total respondents to
the form.
