Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 154 / Monday, August 11, 1997 / Notices 43035

the form is added as a result of the

Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations

Act of 1997. This statute amended the

GCA to make it unlawful for any person

convicted of a misdemeanor crime of

domestic violence to ship, transport,

possess, or receive firearms. Definition

6. on both forms defines a misdemeanor

crime of domestic violence. Instruction

to Transferee 3. is added to advise law

enforcement officers that they must

certify that they have not been

convicted of a misdemeanor crime of

domestic violence. Two new questions,

in items 13l. and 13m. of both Part I and

Part II of the form, are added as the

result of amendments to the firearms

regulations which require that aliens

purchasing firearms provide residency

certification and documentation.

Definition 7. defines State of Residence

and gives three examples for the

purpose of illustration. A new question,

enumerated as item 18. on Part I of the

form only, is added for identifying the

name and location of the gun show at

which the transfer was made, if

applicable.

This item is added to help dealers

comply with GCA regulations which

require them to record this information

in their acquisition and disposition

records. Because low volume dealers

use ATF F 4473 LV in lieu of the

acquisition and disposition records, the

form will now accommodate this

recordkeeping requirement.

Type of Review: Extension with

changes.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, individuals or households

Estimated Number of Respondents:

5,000.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 6

minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 1,042.

REQUEST FOR COMMENTS: Comments

submitted in response to this notice will

be summarized and/or included in the

request for OMB approval. All

comments will become a matter of

public record. Comments are invited on:

(a) whether the collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

of the information to be collected; (d)

ways to minimize the burden of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Firearms Transaction Record,

Part I, Over the Counter.

OMB Number: 1512–0129.

Form Number: ATF F 4473 (5300.9)

Part I.

Abstract: The form is used to

determine the eligibility under the Gun

Control Act (GCA) of a person to receive

a firearm from a Federal firearms

licensee. It is also used to establish the

identity of the buyer. Additionally, the

form is used in law enforcement for the

purpose of investigations/inspections to

trace firearms or to confirm criminal

activity of persons violating the GCA.

The record retention requirement for

this information collection is 20 years.

Current Actions: Revisions have been

made to the form in accordance with

new laws and regulations. Question 8a.

was added to prevent ‘‘straw purchases’’

in which someone other than the actual

buyer poses as the buyer and fills out

the form in place of the buyer. Question

8j. was added as a result of the Violent

Crime Control and Law Enforcement

Act of 1994. This statute amended the

GCA to make it unlawful for any person

subject to a court order restraining them

from harassing, stalking, or threatening

an imtimate partner or child of such

partner to ship, transport, possess, or

receive firearms. Question 8k. was

added as a result of Omnibus

Consolidated Appropriations Act of

1997. This statute amended the GCA to

make it unlawful for any person

convicted of a ‘‘misdemeanor crime of

domestic violence’’ to ship, transport,

possess, or receive firearms. The form

has been amended to make it necessary

for purchasers to attest that they are, in

fact, residents of the state in which they

are purchasing the firearm. In the case

of aliens, it requires that they meet the

90 day residency requirements currently

stipulated in the regulations. The form

has been further revised to require

aliens to present documentation

establishing residency (utility bills or

lease agreements) in addition to photo

identification.

Type of Review: Extension with

changes.

households, business or other for-profit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Application to Make and

Register a Firearm.

OMB Number: 1512–0024.

Form Number: ATF F 1 (5320.1).

Abstract: Under the provisions of 26

U.S.C. 5822, no one can ‘‘make’’ a

firearm that requires Federal registration

under the National Firearms Act until

he or she has applied for and received

approval from the Secretary of the

Treasury. The information supplied by

the applicant on the form helps to

establish the applicant’s eligibility for

approval of the request.

Current Actions: Revisions have been

made to the ATF F 1 to reflect the

establishment of two new categories of

persons prohibited from receiving

firearms. Question 8f. asks whether the

applicant is subject to a court order

restraining him or her from harassing,

stalking or threatening an intimate

partner or child of such partner.

Instruction 5.(8) explains that persons

subject to such court orders may not

lawfully possess a firearm. Question 9e.

asks whether the applicant has been

convicted in any court of a

misdemeanor crime of domestic

violence. The question explains this

term, and then refers to definition 1.d

which defines the term ‘‘misdemeanor

crime of domestic violence.’’ Finally,

instruction 5.(9) explains that persons

convicted of such misdemeanor crimes

of domestic violence may not lawfully

possess a firearm. Other clarifying

changes have been made in order to

achieve consistency with other firearms

forms.

Type of Review: Extension with

changes.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households, business or other for-profit

organizations.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

1271.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 4
