SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), The Bureau of Alcohol, 
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), will be submitting the 
following information collection request to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until 
January 21, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments 
especially on the estimated public burden or associated response time, 
suggestions, or need a copy of the proposed information collection 
instrument with instructions or additional information, contact: John

and Explosives; 99 New York Ave. NE; Washington, DC 20226, by email at 
[email protected]/[email protected], or telephone at (202) 648-7120.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
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.

    Abstract: The information collection is necessary for the safety of 
emergency response personnel responding to fires at sites where 
explosives are stored. Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0071 is 
being revised to update the overall public burden, which includes the 
monetized value of the hour burden per response, an increase of 
respondents from 975 to 10,000, and increased postage cost from 49 
cents to 73 cents. Together, these changes resulted in an increase in 
annual burden hours from 488 to 5,000, an annual monetized value of the 
hour burden increase to $223,950, and an annual increase in postage 
costs from $359 to $1,825.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Notification to Fire Safety 
Authority of Storage of Explosive Materials.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form number: None.
    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 the obligation to respond: Affected Public: State, local and 
tribal governments, farms, individuals or households, Private Sector-
for or not for profit institutions. The obligation to respond is 
mandatory per 27 CFR 555.201, 18 U.S.C. 842 (j), and 18 U.S.C. 846.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 
10,000 respondents will respond to this collection once annually, and 
it will take each respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete their 
responses.
    6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 5,000, which is equal to 10,000 (total respondents) 
* 1 (# of response per respondent) * 0.5 (30 minutes).
    7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the 
collection, if applicable: The total annual monetized value of the time 
burden associated with this collection is $223,950 (10,000 total 
responses * $22.395 cost per response). Over the three-year renewal 
period for this ICR, the monetized value of the time burden (due to 
annual notices) would be $671,850.
