-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 1140-0095 (Office of Human Resources
and Professional Development Student and Supervisor Training Validation
Surveys) 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.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until
April 22, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments,
regarding the estimated public burden or associated response time,
suggestions, or need a copy of the proposed information collection
instrument with instructions, or additional information, please
contact: James Scott either by mail at ATF Human Resources and
Professional Development, 99 New York Ave. NE, Washington, DC 20226, by
email at [email protected], or by telephone at 202-648-8385.
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.
