Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83):
Extension without change of a currently approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Inventories: Licensed
Explosives Importers, Manufacturers, Dealers, and Permittees.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection:
Form number (if applicable): None.
Component: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,
U.S. Department of Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Primary: Businesses or other for-profit.
Other (if applicable): None.
Abstract: The information collection entitled Inventories: Licensed
Explosives Importers, Manufacturers, Dealers, and Permittees, requires
that persons engaged in the explosives industry maintain explosive
material inventories. The collected information is used by the
government to develop audit trails during the course of a compliance
inspection or criminal investigation.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 9,433
respondents will respond to this collection annually, and it will take
each respondent approximately 2 hours 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 18,866 hours, which is equal to 9,433 (# of
responses) * 1 (# of responses per respondent) * 2 (total time in hours
to respond to this IC).
7.An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The adjustment
associated with this collection is a decrease in the number of
respondents by 483 and a decrease in the total burden hours by 966,
since the last renewal in 2017. The recalculated burden hours for this
collection corresponds with the fact that each respondent responds only
once, and now take 2 hours, instead of 1 hour to complete their
responses.
