    Overview of this information collection:

Extension, without change, of a currently approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: National Firearms Act (NFA)--

    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:

    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:

    Abstract: ATF F 5630.7, NFA Special Tax Registration and Return 
National Firearms Act is completed and returned by businesses that are 
subject to Special Occupational Taxes under the National Firearms Act 
for either initial tax payment or business information changes. This 
form serves as both a return and a business registration. ATF F 
5630.5R, NFA Special Tax Renewal Registration and Return and ATF F 
5630.5RC, NFA Special Tax Location Registration Listing are preprinted 
forms sent to taxpayers for Special Occupation Taxes under the National 
Firearms Act. Taxpayers validate/correct the information and send the 
forms back with payment for the applicable tax year.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: It is estimated 
that 6,000 taxpayers will complete forms ATF F 5630.5R and ATF F 
5630.5RC in approximately 20 minutes (10 minutes for each form). It is 
also estimated that 350 new taxpayers will complete ATF F 5630.7 in its 
entirety in approximately 15 minutes. The combined total number of 
respondents for this information collection is 6,350, while the 
combined total response time is 35 minutes.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
ATF F 5630.5R and ATF F 5630.5RC is 2,000 hours. The total burden for 
ATF F 5630.7 is 88 hours. Therefore the estimated total public burden 
associated with this information collection is 2,088 hours which is 
equal to (6000 (# of respondents for ATF F 5630.5R and ATF F 5630.5RC) 
* .3333 (20 mins) + 350 (# of respondents for ATF F 5630.7) * .25 (15 
mins).
