    DOJ seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOJ notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously 
approved collection.
    2. Title of the Form/Collection: Demand 2 Program: Report of 
Firearms Transactions.
    3. Agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the 
Department of Justice sponsoring the collection: ATF Form 5300.5.
    Component: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 
U.S. Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract: Affected Public: Private Sector-for or not 
for profit institutions.
    Abstract: The Demand 2 Program requires Federal Firearm Licensee's 
(FFL's) with 25 or more traces with a time to crime of 3 years or less 
in a calendar year, to submit an annual report followed by quarterly 
reports of used firearms acquired by the FFL. Due to the increase in 
Type 07 FFLs meeting Demand 2 criteria and their low or non-existent 
manufacturing activity, as well as the likelihood that some may turn to 
a Type 08 license to deal and avoid reporting requirement if Type 08 is 
not subjected to Demand 2, (IC) OMB # 1140-0024 is being revised to now 
include Type 07 and 08 FFLs as a population that is subject to the 
reporting requirements of the Demand 2 program.
    5. Obligation to Respond: Mandatory under authority 18 U.S.C. 
923(g), in the form and manner specified in 27 CFR 478.126(a).
