    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83):

[[Page 28983]]

Revision of a currently approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Application for Restoration of 
Explosives Privileges.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:
    Form number (if applicable): ATF Form 5400.29.
    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: Individuals or households.
    Other (if applicable): Business or other for-profit.
    Abstract: Persons who wish to ship, transport, receive, or possess 
explosive materials, but are prohibited from doing so, must complete 
the Application for Restoration of Explosives Privileges--ATF Form 
5400.29. The completed form must be submitted to ATF, to determine if 
the applicant is likely to act in a manner that endangers public 
safety, and that granting relief is not contrary to the public 
interest.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 300 
respondents will utilize the form annually, and it will take each 
respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete the form.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 150 hours, which is equal to 300 (# of respondents) 
* 1 (# responses per respondents) * .5 (30 minutes or the total time to 
complete each response).
    7. An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The adjustment to 
this IC include an increase in the public burden cost to $ 9,765, which 
is due to inclusion of the cost to conduct ATF in-person interviews 
with both the respondent's supervisor and a coworker, as well as 
mailing costs.
