The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), part of the Department of Justice, is seeking public comments on a proposed revision to its information collection process related to the exportation of firearms. The revision involves an increase in the number of respondents and the burden hours required to complete the ATF Form 9 (5320.9), which is necessary for Federal firearms licensees who deal, manufacture, or import NFA firearms. The updates also include minor changes such as updating references from the NFA Branch to the NFA Division, and requesting the applicant's email address. Public comments are invited to address the utility, accuracy, clarity, and burden of the information collection until April 5, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The ATF wants to change a form used to send guns to other countries, making sure it's easier to fill out and asking for people's email addresses too. They also want to hear what people think about these changes until April 5, 2021.
