Statistics, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the

    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 
un-registerable 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. 
The information collection (IC) OMB 1140-0016 (Application for 
Registration of Firearms Acquired by Certain Governmental Entities--ATF 
F 10 (5320.10)) is being revised due to an increase in the total 
respondents, responses, burden hours and associated costs, since the 
last renewal in 2020. Additionally, the adjustments associated with 
this IC includes an increase in both, the total number of respondents 
and responses by 544. Consequently, the total public burden hours and 
costs for this IC has also increased by 272 hours and $171.36 
respectively, since the last renewal in 2020.
