Firearms and Explosives (ATF), will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995. The proposed information collection was previously published in 
the Federal Register 81 FR 57616, on August 23, 2016, allowing for a 
60-day comment period. This information collection OMB 1140-0018

being revised and combined with OMB 1140-0038 (Application for Federal 
Firearms License (Collector of Curios and Relics))--ATF Form 7 CR 
(5310.16); thereby eliminating the need for a separate application form 
for Type 03, Collector of Curios and Relics FFL (1140-0038). The 
proposed information collection is also being published to obtain 
comments from the public and affected agencies.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for an additional 
30 days until February 8, 2017.

particularly with respect to the estimated public burden or associated 
response time, have suggestions, need a copy of the proposed 
information collection instrument with instructions, or desire any 
other additional information, please contact Tracey Robertson, Chief, 
Federal Firearms Licensing Center, either by mail at 244 Needy Road,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
