(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Primary: Any Federal Firearms
Licensee (FFL) or State Point-of-Contact
(POC) requesting access to conduct
National Instant Criminal Background
Check System (NICS) Checks
telephonically or by the Internet
through the NICS Electronic Check (E–
Check).
Brief Abstract: The Brady Handgun
Violence Prevention Act of 1993
required the United States Attorney
General to establish a national instant
criminal background check system that
any Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL)
may contact, by telephone or by other
electronic means, for information to be
supplied immediately, on whether
receipt of a firearm by a prospective
purchaser would violate state or federal
law. Information pertaining to licensees
who may contact the NICS is being
collected to manage and control access
to the NICS and to the NICS E–Check,
to ensure appropriate resources are
available to support the NICS, and also
to ensure the privacy and security of
NICS information.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond:
It is estimated that 500 Federal
Firearms Licensees (FFLs) enroll with
the NICS per month for a total of 6,000
enrollments per year. The average
response time for reading the directions
for the National Instant Criminal
Background Check System (NICS)
Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL)
Enrollment/NICS Electronic Check (E–
Check) Enrollment Form is estimated to
be two minutes; time to complete the
form is estimated to be three minutes;
and the time it takes to assemble, mail,
or fax the form to the FBI is estimated
to be three minutes, for a total of eight
minutes. The average hour burden for
this specific form is 6,000 × 8 minutes/
60 = 800 hours.
The Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL)
Officer/Employee Acknowledgment of
Responsibilities Form Under the
National Instant Criminal Background
Check System (NICS) takes
approximately three minutes to read the
responsibilities and two minutes to
complete the form, for a total of five
minutes. The average hour burden for
this specific form is 6,000 × 5 minutes/
60 = 500 hours.
The accompanying letter mailed with
the packet takes an additional two
minutes to read which would be 6,000
× 2 minutes/60 = 200 hours.
The entire process of reading the
letter and completing both forms would
VerDate Nov<24>2008

take 15 minutes per respondent. The
average hour burden for completing
both forms and reading the
accompanying letter would be 6,000 ×
15/60 = 1,500 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
The entire process of reading the
