the following four points:

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice 
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether, and if so, how the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information 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.

    Summary of changes: Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0031 is 
being revised to change the title from `Records of Acquisition and 
Disposition, Registered Importers of Arms, Ammunition & Implements of 
War on the U.S. Munitions Import List' to `Records of Acquisition and 
Disposition by Registered Importers of Arms, Ammunition, and Defense 
Articles on the U.S. Munitions Import List' to reflect a change in 
terminology. It is also being slightly revised in the section 
describing the purpose, to clarify the record-keeping requirements, 
although those requirements are not changing. In addition, it is being 
revised to update the time burdens to the public, to keep up with 
changes to the number of respondents, and to apply a monetized value to 
the time burden.
    Abstract: The records associated with this collection are defense 
articles other than firearms and ammunition enumerated on the U.S. 
Munitions Import List. This collection requires importers of such items 
to maintain records of their importing activities, including the ATF 
Forms 6 and 6A they submit.
