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.

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, contact:

public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
