(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: 

Primary: Any Federal Firearms 

Licensee (FFL) or State Point-of-Contact 

(POC) requesting access to conduct 

National Instant Criminal Background 

Check System (NICS) Checks 

telephonically or by the Internet 

through the NICS Electronic Check (E– 

Check). 

Brief 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 Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) 

may contact, by telephone or by other 

electronic means, for information to be 

supplied immediately, on whether 

receipt of a firearm by 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: 

It is estimated that 500 Federal 

Firearms Licensees (FFLs) enroll with 

the NICS per month for a total of 6,000 

enrollments per year. The average 

response time for reading the directions 

for the National Instant Criminal 

Background Check System (NICS) 

Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) 

Enrollment/NICS Electronic Check (E– 

Check) Enrollment Form is estimated to 

be two minutes; time to complete the 

form is estimated to be three minutes; 

and the time it takes to assemble, mail, 

or fax the form to the FBI is estimated 

to be three minutes, for a total of eight 

minutes. The average hour burden for 

this specific form is 6,000 × 8 minutes/ 

60 = 800 hours. 

The Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) 

Officer/Employee Acknowledgment of 

Responsibilities Form Under the 

National Instant Criminal Background 

Check System (NICS) takes 

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 form is 6,000 × 5 minutes/ 

60 = 500 hours. 

The accompanying letter mailed with 

the packet takes an additional two 

minutes to read which would be 6,000 

× 2 minutes/60 = 200 hours. 

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 6,000 × 

15/60 = 1,500 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 6,000 × 

15/60 = 1,500 hours.
