The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) under the Department of Justice has proposed revisions to an information collection concerning records of firearm acquisitions and dispositions by licensed dealers, pawnbrokers, and collectors. This revision aims to correct a previous error in estimating the time required for record-keeping. The public is encouraged to provide comments on the necessity, accuracy, and potential improvements of this information collection within 60 days, until July 7, 2025. Approximately 102,555 respondents are expected to submit this information annually, amounting to a total burden of 820,440 hours per year, with no associated cost burden.
Simple Explanation
The ATF wants to fix a mistake in how they check if people who sell or collect certain types of guns are keeping the right records. They need people to say if they think the record-keeping is useful or might need changes, and they have until July 7, 2025, to share their thoughts.
