    Abstract: Licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in Arizona, California, 
New Mexico and Texas must submit to ATF reports of multiple sales or 
other dispositions of certain rifles whenever, at one time or during 
any five consecutive business days, you sell to an unlicensed person or 
otherwise dispose of two or more semi-automatic rifles capable of 
accepting a detachable magazine and with a caliber greater than .22 
(including .223/5.56 caliber). The required information must be 
submitted on ATF F3310.12. The information collection (IC) OMB #1140-
0100 is being revised to expand the FFL population required to complete 
the form. ATF is now requiring Type 07 FFLs and Type 08 FFLs in these 
States to also report multiple sales of certain rifles on ATF Form 
3310.12.

institutions. The obligation to respond is mandatory. The statutory 
requirements are implemented in title 18 U.S.C. 923(g)(5)(A).
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated 
number of eligible respondents is 15,000 but the estimated number of 
responses is approximately 12,000, and it will take each respondent 12 
minutes to complete their responses.
    6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 2,400 hours, which is equal to 12,000 (total 
responses) * .2 (12 minutes).
    7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the 
collection, if applicable: The average wage for a firearms sales clerk 
is $16.70 per hour and postage at $0.51. Accordingly, the total burden 
on respondents is $46,200.00 annually (2,400 total hourly burden x 
$16.70 hourly wage rate for a sales clerk) + (postage: $0.51 x 12,000 
responses).
