In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, this information collection is approved. However,
this revised form was available on ATF's website prior to OMB
approval. That action is a violation of the PRA and this
information collection should be listed as a violation in the
FY2003 Information Collection Budget. In addition, the agency is
reminded to report costs in thousands of dollars.
