SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We encourage written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed information collection. Your comments should address one or more of the following four points: —Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is necessary for the proper performance of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; —Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; —Evaluate whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced, and if so, how; and —Suggest ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, 
                    *e.g.,*
                     permitting electronic submission of responses. *Abstract:*Chapter 40 of title 18 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) provides that no person may engage in the business of manufacturing, importing, or dealing in explosives without first obtaining a license to do so. In addition, the statute also requires a person who wants to receive or transport explosives or explosive materials in interstate or foreign commerce to first obtain a permit to do so. Licenses/permits are issued for a specific period and are renewable upon the same conditions as the original license/permit. In order to continue uninterrupted in the activities covered by the license/permit when that specific period ends, licensees/permittees must renew their license/permit by filing a renewal application form.
