review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995. The proposed collection OMB 1140-0060 (Firearms Disabilities for

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.

    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83): 
Revision of a currently approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Firearms Disabilities for

    Abstract: Nonimmigrant alien information will be used to determine

also must maintain these documents while in possession of firearms or 
ammunition in the United States, for verification purposes.

respondents will provide information for this information collection 
once each year, and it will take each respondent approximately 4.08 
minutes to complete their responses.

with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 133.96 or 134 hours, which is equal to 1,970 (# of 
respondents) * .068 (5.08 minutes).
    7. An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The increase in the 
total responses and burden hours by 536, and 36 hours respectively 
since the last renewal of this information collection in 2018, are due 
to more nonimmigrant aliens applying to obtain and renew federal 
firearms licenses.
