Terms of Clearance: This information collection request has been improperly submitted because ATF is requesting an extension without change of a form that ATF has revised. OMB has extended by one month the expiration date of the version of this form approved by OMB on March 9, 1994 to allow ATF to resubmit this request. The submission should request an emergency revision. ATF must justify the new questions and the change in instructions in light of new legislation and recalculate the burden hours accordingly. Upon OMB approval of the resubmission, ATF will publish a pre-clearance notice in the Federal Register that describes the revisions and requests public comment. This will begin the process of obtaining three-year approval of the revised form.
