(1) Type of Information Collection:
Reinstatement, with change, of a

(2) Title of the Form/Collection:
Firearms Inquiry Statistics (FIST)
Program.
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Not applicable. As
applicable, tally sheets and an Excel
spreadsheet are sent to relevant State
and local agencies for reporting
purposes. These data collection forms
have not been assigned an agency form
number but will be labeled with the
appropriate OMB number as required.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Primary: State and Local
Governments. This information
collection is a survey of State and local
agencies that conduct background
checks on individuals applying to
purchase firearms from federally
licensed firearm dealers. The
information will provide national
statistics on the total number of
applications and rejections annually,
reasons for rejection, and arrest and
appeal information.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The survey will be sent to an
estimated 816 state and local agencies.
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
It is estimated that 653 respondents (80
percent of the sample) will spend a
cumulative total of 15 minutes annually
responding to the survey and/or
verifying information.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection:
There are an estimated 163.25 total
annual burden hours associated with
this collection. This estimate is higher
than the figure reported on the 60 day
notice (139.75 hours). The figure listed
in the 60 day notice assumed a response
rate of 70 percent. However, BJS and the
data collection agent will continue to
identify ways to encourage a higher
response rate in future data collections
and, as will be set forth in the FY2011
funding announcement for the FIST
program, BJS has established as a
performance measure a goal of
achieving an overall response rate of 80
percent. To calculate the current
estimated public reporting burden for
this information collection, the
estimated response rate submitted
previously was reassessed and revised
to reflect the current performance
measure established for the data
collection agent.
This revised estimate remains lower
than the estimated public burden
approved in 2007 (341.5 hours). The
decreased burden is associated with a
change in data collection schedule from
twice to once annually. BJS determined
that the relevant data could be
effectively obtained by administering
the survey once a year, and this
schedule is anticipated to continue in
subsequent information collections.
