the Gun Control Act of 1968 to add a new subsection, 18 U.S.C. Section 
922(g)(8). Also, a new question E. has been added to item 9. Definition 
3. defines ``Misdemeanor Crime of Domestic Violence.'' These revisions 
are necessitated by the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 
1997, which amended the Gun Control Act of 1968 to add a new 
subsection, 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(9). The last revision is the 
addition of item 10. APPLICANT CERTIFICATION. Item 10. requires the 
applicant to certify to certain conditions in order to qualify for a 
Collector of Curios and Relics license.
    Type of Review: Extension with changes.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,000.
    Estimated Time Per Respondent: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,500.
    Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited 
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
