SUMMARY: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF),

information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until 
October 2, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments 
especially on 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: 
Lakisha Gregory, either by mail at Personnel Security Division, U.S. 
Department of Justice, PSD--Room 1.E.--300, 99 New York Ave. NE, 
Washington, DC 20226, by email at [email protected], or telephone 
at (202) 648-9260.

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 interviewed by ATF contract investigators as a 
part of a federal background investigation are randomly selected to 
voluntarily complete a survey that measures the effectiveness, 
efficiency, and professionalism of the investigator. Interviewees who 
provide email addresses during the interviews may be emailed a survey 
to complete and return to a specific ATF email address. The Information 
Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0058 is being revised to correct a 
typographical error in the Interview Ratings section. A question from 
the survey was also removed, as it is not included in the 
investigator's current line of questioning.
