sheriff’s offices, and primary state law 

enforcement agencies. Since 1987, BJS 

has collected information about the 

personnel, policies, and practices of law 

enforcement agencies via the Law 

Enforcement Management and 

Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) 

survey. This core survey, which has 

been administered every 4 to 6 years, 

has been used to produce nationally 

representative estimates on the 

demographic characteristics of sworn 

personnel, hiring practices, operations, 

equipment, technology, and agency 

policies and procedures. BJS plans to 

publish this information in reports and 

reference it when responding to queries 

from the U.S. Congress, Executive Office 

of the President, the U.S. Supreme 

Court, state officials, international 

organizations, researchers, students, the 

media, and others interested in criminal 

justices statistics. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: An agency-level survey will be 

sent to approximately 3,497 LEA 

respondents. The expected burden 

placed on these respondents is about 

2.65 hours per respondent. The burden 

estimate is based on data from prior 

administrations of the LEMAS. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There is an estimated 9,269 

total burden hours associated with this 

collection.

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

Overview of this information 

collection: 

1. Type of Information Collection: 

Extension with change of a currently 

approved collection.

Licensee (FFL) or State Point of Contact 

(POC) requesting access to conduct 

National Instant Criminal Background 

Check Systems (NICS) checks 

telephonically or by the Internet 

through the NICS E-Check. 

Abstract: The Brady Handgun 

Violence Prevention Act of 1993 

required the United States Attorney 

General to establish a national instant 

criminal background check system that 

any FFL may contact, by telephone or 

by other electronic means, for 

information to be supplied immediately, 

on whether receipt of a firearm to a 

prospective purchaser would violate 

state or federal law. Information 

pertaining to licensees who may contact 

the NICS is being collected to manage 

and control access to the NICS and to 

the NICS E-Check, to ensure appropriate 

resources are available to support the 

NICS and also to ensure the privacy and 

security of NICS information. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The completion of the Federal 

Firearms Licensee (FFL) Enrollment/

National Instant Criminal Background 

Check System (NICS) E-Check 

Enrollment Form is estimated that there 

are 406 respondents each month, 4,872 

(406 × 12) annual responses, and that 

each response takes approximately two 

minutes, time to complete the form is 

estimated to be three minutes; and the

asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 25 / Monday, February 8, 2016 / Notices 6541 

to the FBI is estimated to be three 

minutes, for a total of 8 minutes per 

form. Total completion time is 4,872 × 

8/60 = 650 hours. 

The completion of the Federal 

Firearms Licensee (FFL) Officer/

Employee Acknowledgment of 

Responsibilities under the NICS form is 

estimated to take approximately three 

minutes to read the responsibilities and 

two minutes to complete the form, for 

a total of five minutes. The average hour 

burden for this specific forms is 6,000 

× 5 minutes/60 = 250 hours. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The entire process of reading 

the letter and completing both forms 

would take 15 minutes per respondent. 

The average hour burden for completing 

both forms and reading the 

accompanying letter would be 4,872 ×

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Department of Labor 

Generic Solution for ‘‘Touch-Base’’ 

Activities information collection. This 

information collection activity provides 

a means to garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner. Feedback will provide 

insights into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences and 

expectations, provide an early warning 

of issues interest, or focus attention on 

areas where communication, training, or 

changes in operations or policy might 

improve delivery of products, services, 

or Federal policy. These collections will 

allow for ongoing, collaborative, and 

actionable communications between the 

DOL and its customers and 

stakeholders. Information collected will 

also allow feedback to contribute 

directly to the improvement of program 

management. This ICR would revise the 

collection to clarify that it may be used 

to obtain information to assist policy 

choices and would be similar to an ICR 

approved specifically for the 

Employment and Training 

Administration that is designed to get 

quick feedback on issues of interest to 

that agency. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1225–0059. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

requirements would only take effect 

upon OMB approval. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1225–0059. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 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. 

Agency: DOL–OASAM. 

Title of Collection: Department of 

Labor Generic Solution for ‘‘TouchBase’’ Activities.
