    Abstract: Section 923 of chapter 44 of title 18 requires persons 
wishing to be licensed to renew their license every three years. In 
order to renew their license, licensees must complete ATF Form 8 
(5310.11) Part II to certify compliance with the provisions of the law 
for the FFL business. Information Collection (IC) OMB is being revised

associated with this collection. However, the annual cost has increased 
due to a change in the postal rate from $0.63 during the last renewal 
in 2023, to $0.73 in 2024. Consequently, the new public cost burden 
will be reported as $24,455.00, which is equal to .73 (mailing cost per 
respondent) * 33,500 (# of respondents.
