SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the

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

    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83): 
Extension without change of a currently approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Registration 
of Firearms Acquired by Certain Governmental Entities.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:
    Form number (if applicable): ATF Form 10 (5320.10).
    Component: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 
U.S. Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Federal Government.
    Other (if applicable): State, Local, and Tribal Government.
    Abstract: State and local government agencies will use the 
Application for Registration of Firearms Acquired by Certain 
Governmental Entities--ATF Form 10 (5320.10) to register an otherwise 
unregisterable National Firearms Act (NFA). The NFA requires the 
registration of certain firearms under Federal Law. The Form 10 
registration allows State and local agencies to comply with the NFA, 
and retain and use firearms that would otherwise have to be destroyed.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 318 
respondents will utilize the form annually, and it will take each 
respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete the responses.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 159 hours, which is equal to 318 (total respondents) 
*.5 (30 minutes or time/per response)

    7. An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The adjustment 
associated with this IC is a reduction in the total respondents and 
responses for this IC by 1,189, since the last renewal in 2017. 
Consequently, the total burden hours and costs for this IC has also 
reduced by 595 hours and $713 respectively, since 2017.
