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 Bureau of Justice 
Statistics, 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.

    Abstract: Persons who wish to ship, transport, receive, or possess 
explosive materials, but are prohibited from doing so, will complete 
this form. The form will be submitted to ATF to determine whether the 
person who provided the information is likely to act in a manner 
dangerous to public safety and that the granting of relief is not 
contrary to the public interest. The information collection (IC) OMB 
#1140-0076 is being revised due to minor material changes to the form, 
such as adding instruction clarification and ``month/year'' (to block 
(b) and (c) of item 9 and block (c) and (d) of item 10).
