The Department of Justice (DOJ), specifically its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), is inviting public comments on a proposed information collection. The new collection, known as the Residency and Citizenship Questionnaire (ATF Form 8620.58), aims to determine if candidates for federal or contractor employment with the ATF meet U.S. residency and citizenship requirements. The collection is estimated to involve 2,000 respondents annually, with each taking approximately 5 minutes to complete, resulting in an estimated total public burden of 167 hours. Comments will be accepted for a period of 60 days until March 15, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Justice wants to ask people some questions to see if they are allowed to work for the government in the United States. They hope to hear what everyone thinks about this idea and will take a couple of months to decide.
