    (2) The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Tax-Exempt 
Transfer of Firearm and Registration to Special Occupational Taxpayer.
    (3) The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:

    Abstract: The Application for Tax-Exempt Transfer of Firearm and 
Registration to Special Occupational Taxpayer--ATF Form 3 (5320.3) form 
is used by Federal firearms licensees, to apply for the transfer and 
registration of a National Firearms Act (NFA) firearm that is subject 
to exemption from transfer tax, as provided by 26 U.S.C. 5852(d).
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 
130,289 respondents will utilize the form annually, and it will take 
each respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete 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 65,145 hours, which is equal to 130,289 (# of 
respondents) * 1 (# of responses per respondent) * .5 (30 minutes or 
the total time taken to complete each response).
    (7) An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The adjustments to 
this information collection include a decrease in the total responses 
by 47,211. Consequently, the annual burden hours has also reduced by 
23,605. However, the public cost increased to $ 4,292, because some 
respondents completed and mailed their applications to ATF for 
processing, although this collection can be electronically submitted.
