Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed eCollection 
eComments Requested; Revision of a Currently Approved Collection: 
Notification to Fire Safety Authority of Storage of Explosive Materials

AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Department 
of Justice.

ACTION: 60-day notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, 
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 collection OMB 1140-0071 (Notification to Fire 
Safety Authority of Storage of Explosive Materials) is being revised 
due to a change in burden, since there is a reduction in both the total 
responses and total burden hours due to less respondents, although 
there is a slight increase in the cost burden due to higher postage 
costs since 2015.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until 
August 27, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments, 
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 
additional information, please contact Anita Scheddel, Program Analyst, 
Explosives Industry Programs Branch, either by mail 99 New York Ave. 
NE, Washington, DC 20226, or by email at [email protected], or by telephone at 202-648-7158.

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:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 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.
