SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Application For License or

Permit Under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 40,

Explosives.

OMB Number: 1512–0182.

Form Number: ATF F 5400.13/

5400.16.

Abstract: Chapter 40, Title 18, U.S.C.

provides that any person engaged in the

business of explosive materials as a

dealer, manufacturer, or importer shall

be licensed. The information collected

on the form is used to determine if the

applicant is qualified to be a licensee or

permittee under the provisions of the

statute. There is no record retention

requirement for the applicant.

Current Actions: The explosive

regulations are proposed to be amended,

therefore, ATF F 5400.13/5400.16 is

proposed to be revised. The form

revisions include proposals to add new

codes to the categories of Explosive

License and Explosives Permit. The

form also reflects the proposed increase

in fees for all license and permit types.

Additionally, ATF proposes to revise

the form by providing a worksheet as an

attachment for item 15. for use in

describing all explosive storage

magazine data. The categories of ‘‘race’’

and ‘‘sex’’ are proposed to be added to

item 18. A section is proposed to be

added to the form to require the

applicant to certify that he/she has

notified the chief law enforcement

officer and fire marshal for all sites at

which explosives will be stored. The

following definitions are proposed to be

added or clarified: chief law

enforcement officer, fire marshal,

manufacturer, and high explosives.

Items 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 of

the Instruction Sheet will be amended

to reflect the new attachment worksheet.

There are proposed restructuring

changes to the form that would reflect

the proposed amendments to the

explosive regulations. The frequency of

applying for a license or permit is

proposed to be changed from 1 year to

3 years. As a result, the burden hours

and cost would decrease.

Type of Review: Revision.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, individuals or households, notfor-profit institutions, State, Local or

Tribal Government.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

2,100.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 3

hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden

Hours: 2,436 every 3 years.

REQUEST FOR COMMENTS: Comments

submitted in response to this notice will

(a) Whether the collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information shall practical utility; (b)

the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of

the burden of the collection of

information; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; (d) ways to
