Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 28, 2026 / Notices
Component: Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
Affected public who will be asked or
required to respond, as well as the
obligation to respond: Affected public:
business or other for-profit. Obligation
to respond: mandatory per 15 U.S.C.
375–378, 18 U.S.C. 1716E.
Estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time

estimated for an average respondent to
respond: There are an estimated 1,396
respondents associated with this
collection per year, and it takes each
respondent an average of approximately
30 minutes (0.5 hours) per response to
complete the form.
Estimate of the total annual burden
(in hours) associated with the collection:
The estimated annual public burden

67861

associated with this collection is 698
hours, which is equal to 1,396 (total
respondents) * 1 (# of responses per

Revisions to This Information
Collection
As part of this ICR renewal, ATF is
making no program changes affecting
this information collection, OMB 1140–
0098. However, the number of
registrants have increased (596 persons)
since the last renewal in 2023, from 800
respondents to 1,396. In addition, the
registration forms have been made
electronically downloadable, fillable,
signable, and submittable by email. This
has resulted in a decrease in the amount
of time it takes to complete the form,
from 1 hour to 30 minutes. The
combined increase in respondents and
decrease in time has resulted in a net
decrease in burden hours, from 800
during the last renewal to 698 in 2026.
ATF has also made minor plain writing
edits to the form, and has merged the
continuation sheet, formerly Form
5070.1A, into Form 5070.1. Because this
is a fully electronic form, there is no
longer a need for a separate
continuation sheet.
Dated: October 26, 2026.

Department Clearance Officer for PRA, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Wage
and Hour Division (WHD) of the
Department of Labor (DOL) administers
the Employee Polygraph Protection Act
of 1988 (EPPA), 29 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.
The EPPA prohibits most private
employers from using any lie detector
tests either for pre-employment
screening or during employment. The
Act contains an exemption applicable to
federal, state, and local government
employers. The EPPA also contains
several limited exemptions authorizing
polygraph tests under certain
conditions, including testing (1) by the
federal government of experts,
consultants, or employees of Federal
contractors engaged in national security
intelligence or counterintelligence
functions; (2) of employees the
employer reasonably suspects of
involvement in a workplace incident
resulting in economic loss or injury to
the employer’s business; (3) of some

prospective employees of private
armored cars, security alarm and
security guard firms; and (4) of some
current and prospective employees of
certain firms authorized to manufacture,
distribute, or dispense controlled
substances. WHD may assess civil
money penalties against employers who
violate any EPPA provision. This
amount increases annually due to the
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
2015. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on July 27, 2026 (91 FR 46970).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) if the
information will be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (4)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(5) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
To help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1235–
0005.
This information collection is subject
to PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements

Section 212 of the Economic Growth,

publicly available and publish in the
Federal Register a draft of the detailed
business-type budget.’’ Although 12
U.S.C. 1789(b)(1)(A) requires
publication of a ‘‘business-type budget’’
only for the agency operations arising
under the Federal Credit Union Act’s
subchapter on insurance activities, in
the interest of transparency the Board is
providing NCUA’s entire draft budget
for 2027–2028 in this Notice.
The draft budget details the resources
required to support NCUA’s mission.
The draft budget includes personnel and
dollar estimates for three major budget
components: (1) the Operating Budget;
(2) the Capital Budget; and (3) the Share
Insurance Fund Administrative Budget.
The resources proposed in the draft
budget are to carry out the agency’s
operations in 2027 and 2028. This
document is a draft, staff-level budget
proposal made available to the NCUA
Board and the public for their
consideration and comment. The NCUA
Board directed NCUA’s Executive
Director to develop the draft budget
under delegated authority. The draft
budget may change based on public
comments, Board decisions, and staff’s
ongoing consideration of estimates and
programs that impact the budget.
NCUA’s Chief Financial Officer will
present the draft budget at a hearing
open to the public on Tuesday,
November 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.
Eastern at NCUA’s headquarters, 1775
Duke Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314.

person may visit the agency’s homepage
(https://www.ncua.gov/) to access the
provided webcast link.
If you wish to participate in the
hearing and deliver a statement, you
must email a request to BudgetHearing@
ncua.gov by November 6, 2026. Your
request must include your name, title,
affiliation, mailing address, email

Statements must be delivered in person
at the hearing. NCUA will work to
