Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved 
collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Relief of Disabilities and 
Application for Restoration of Explosives Privileges.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number is 5400.29. 
The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, in the Explosives 
Enforcement Branch.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Individuals.
    Other (if applicable): None.
    Abstract: ATF is charged with the responsibility for enforcing 
Title XI of the Organized Crime Control Act (the Act) of 1970 and the 
implementing regulations contained at 27 CFR, Part 555. Subtitle C of 
Public Law 107-296, the Safe Explosives Act, enacted November 25, 2003, 
amended the Act to give the Director authority to grant relief from 
disability for any person who is prohibited from shipping, 
transporting, receiving, or possessing an explosive under section 
842(i) of the Act. The regulations at 27 CFR, Section 555.142 state 
that the Director may grant relief to an applicant if it is established 
to the satisfaction of the Director that the circumstances regarding 
the disability and the applicant's record and reputation are such that 
the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public 
safety. The ATF Form 5400.29, Application for Restoration of Explosives 
Privileges, is used by ATF to conduct background investigations on all 
applicants for restoration of explosives privileges. In an effort to 
ensure that any person applying for restoration of explosives 
privileges has a record and reputation such that the applicant will not 
be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and that the 
granting of such relief would not be contrary to the public interest, 
ATF proposes that all applicants complete ATF Form 5400.29.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: We estimated that 
there are a total of 300 respondents associated with this information 
collection request. We estimate that each respondent will

spend approximately 30 minutes completing this form.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: Assuming all 300 responses are collected and 
multiplied by the average 30 minutes needed to complete this form (300 
Respondents x .50 hours = 150 hours). The total annual burden hours 
associated with this request is 150 hours.

Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two
