SUMMARY: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF),
Department of Justice (DOJ), 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 information collection (IC) OMB 1140-0040 (Application for
Amended Federal Firearms License--ATF F 5300.38) is being revised due
to material changes to the form, such as added verbiage, added fill
spaces for select questions, check box removal and revised contact
information. There is also an increase in the annual cost burden due to
the postal rate change since the last renewal in 2019. The proposed
information collection is also being published to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until
June 16, 2023.
