The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is seeking public comment on the continuation of its Environmental Information collection process, using ATF Form 5000.29. This process ensures compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act during the explosives application process and assesses any environmental impacts from applicants' business practices. Approximately 680 respondents are expected to complete the form annually, with each taking around 30 minutes. Comments on this collection can be submitted until March 1, 2021, through the federal website provided.
Simple Explanation
The ATF wants people to tell them what they think about filling out Form 5000.29, which is a form used to check that making or using explosives won't hurt the environment. They're collecting thoughts on this because they have to make sure everything is safe and done by the rules.
