SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: COLAs Online Access Request.
    Form Number: ATF F 5013.2.
    Abstract: The information on this form will be used by ATF to 
authenticate end users in the system to electronically file 
Certificates of Label Approval (COLAs). The system will authenticate 
end users by comparing information submitted on the form to records 
held in multiple, independently sourced databases, such as consumer 
credit, postal address and credit card databases. By checking multiple 
sources, often with an overlapping scope of coverage, the verification 
engine will facilitate the authentication process and reduce the 
possibility of fraud. After verifying the applicant user is who they 
claim to be, a password will be issued to allow the user to access the 
system.
    Current Actions: This is a new information collection.
    Type of Review: New.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 300.

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.

    Dated: August 8, 2002.
