Need for Collection

    The form has been revised to include the new classes (types) of 
explosives for manufacturers, dealers, importers and users of 
explosives. The current type codes are obsolete. ATF will now 
categorize explosives licenses and permits by only six major classes. 
The classes are: Manufacturer, Dealer, Importer, User, User-Limited and 
Type 60. The form will still capture the types of explosives materials 
being manufactured, imported, acquired and used by explosives licensees 
and permittees, however, they will no longer be classified by type 
code.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated 
10,000 respondents will complete a 1 hour and 30 minutes form.
    (6) An estimate of the total burden (in hours) associated with the 
collection: There are an estimated 15,000 total burden hours associated 
with this collection.

Management Division, Department of Justice, Two Constitution Square,
