The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), part of the Department of Justice, is seeking public comments on a proposed information collection. This collection involves the Application and Permit for Temporary Importation of Firearms and Ammunition by Nonimmigrant Aliens using ATF Form 6NIA (5330.3D). The proposed extension would require individuals and households to provide information when temporarily importing firearms for activities like hunting. The estimated time to complete the form is 30 minutes, and the agency anticipates about 15,000 respondents annually.
Simple Explanation
The ATF, a branch of the Department of Justice, wants to check what people think about a permission form that lets visitors from other countries bring guns and bullets into the U.S. for activities like hunting. They think it will take about 30 minutes to fill out the form, and many people will use it each year, but they don't explain exactly why they are changing the form or how they estimated the 30 minutes.
