concerning the proposed collection of

responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Reinstatement, with change, of a 

previously approved collection for 

which approval has expired. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Firearms Inquiry Statistics (FIST) 

Program. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Justice sponsoring the 

collection: Not applicable. As 

applicable, tally sheets and an Excel 

spreadsheet are sent to relevant State 

and local agencies for reporting 

purposes. These data collection forms 

have not been assigned an agency form 

number but will be labeled with the 

appropriate OMB number as required. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: State and Local 

Governments. This information 

collection is a survey of State and local 

agencies that conduct background 

checks on individuals applying to 

purchase firearms from federally 

licensed firearm dealers. The 

information will provide national 

statistics on the total number of 

applications and rejections annually, 

reasons for rejection, and arrest and 

appeal information. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The survey will be sent to an 

estimated 816 state and local agencies. 

It is estimated that 653 respondents (80 

percent of the sample) will spend a 

cumulative total of 15 minutes annually 

responding to the survey and/or 

verifying information. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: 

There are an estimated 163.25 total 

annual burden hours associated with 

this collection. This estimate is higher 

than the figure reported on the 60 day 

notice (139.75 hours). The figure listed 

in the 60 day notice assumed a response 

rate of 70 percent. However, BJS and the 

data collection agent will continue to 

identify ways to encourage a higher 

response rate in future data collections 

and, as will be set forth in the FY2011 

funding announcement for the FIST 

program, BJS has established as a 

performance measure a goal of 

achieving an overall response rate of 80 

percent. To calculate the current 

estimated public reporting burden for 

this information collection, the 

estimated response rate submitted 

previously was reassessed and revised 

to reflect the current performance 

measure established for the data 

collection agent. 

This revised estimate remains lower 

than the estimated public burden 

approved in 2007 (341.5 hours). The 

decreased burden is associated with a 

change in data collection schedule from 

twice to once annually. BJS determined 

that the relevant data could be 

effectively obtained by administering 

the survey once a year, and this 

schedule is anticipated to continue in 

subsequent information collections.
