Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 154 / Monday, August 11, 1997 / Notices 43037

‘‘misdemeanor crime of domestic

violence’’ to ship, transport, possess, or

receive firearms. Definition 4 was added

to define the term ‘‘misdemeanor crime

of domestic violence.’’ The word

‘‘alien’’ was added to question 8g. to

clarify a question that had previously

asked ‘‘Are you illegally in the United

States?’’ This item was necessary in

order to implement current law. The

form has also been amended to clarify

that law enforcement officers

purchasing firearms for official use must

certify that they have not been

convicted of a misdemeanor crime of

domestic violence. This change has

been made by adding Instruction 4. to

‘‘Instructions to Transferee (Buyer).’’ If

the transferee (buyer) is a government

employee acquiring a firearm for

personal use, he or she must complete

Section A. in its entirety.’’ As a result

of changes to Federal firearms

regulations, the form will request, as

optional information, an affirmative

statement of the purchaser’s state of

residence, and whether the purchaser is

a citizen of the United States. Also, the

form will provide for the submission of

additional optional information that

would establish that alien purchasers

have resided in the State for at least 90

days.

Type of Review: Extension with

changes.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households, business or other for-profit.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

2,000,000

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 6

minutes.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 478,300.
