The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are seeking public comments on a proposed information collection related to forensic firearm training for non-ATF employees. This notice is part of the process for revising a previously approved collection and the ATF is collecting feedback on the necessity, accuracy, and potential improvements of the collected information. The ATF Form 7110.15 is used to gather information from law enforcement personnel to register and evaluate training on firearms investigations. The deadline for comments is March 10, 2025, and the collection aims to refine the training request process and its efficiency.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Justice wants to hear what people think about their training program for police officers who are not part of their team but investigate gun-related crimes. They want feedback to make sure the training is helpful and worth the money, but they haven't done a good job explaining some changes, like why they need more people or costing more money this time.
