Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Extension of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
2016 Firearm Inquiry Statistics Program:
Annual Survey of Background Checks
for Firearm Transfers and Permits.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
There is no agency form number at this
time. The applicable component within
the Department of Justice is the Bureau
of Justice Statistics, in the Office of
Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Through the Firearm Inquiry
Statistics (FIST) Program, the Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS) obtains
information from state and local
checking agencies responsible for
maintaining records on the number of
background checks for firearm transfers
or permits that were issued, processed,
tracked, or conducted during the
calendar year. Specifically, state and
local checking agencies are asked to
provide information on the number of
applications and denials for firearm
transfers received or tracked by the
agency, and reasons why an application
was denied. BJS combines these data
with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation’s (FBI) National Instant
Criminal Background Check System
transaction data to produce
comprehensive national statistics on
firearm application and denial activities
resulting from the Brady Handgun
Violence Prevention Act of 1993 (the
Brady Act) and similar state laws
governing background checks and
firearm transfers. BJS also collects
information from the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
(ATF) on FBI denials screened and
referred to ATF field offices for
investigation and possible prosecution.
BJS began the FIST program in 1995 and
collects FIST data annually. BJS
publishes FIST data on the BJS Web site
in statistical tables and uses the
information to respond to inquiries from
Congress, federal, state, and local
government officials, researchers,
students, the media, and other members
of the general public interested in in
criminal justice statistics.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 1,044 checking

agencies will take part in the 2016 FIST
survey, including the 34 state agency
reporters that provide complete
statewide counts of applications of
firearm transfers or permits and denials,
a full census of local checking agencies
in 9 states where the local agencies are
the FIST points-of-contact, and a sample
of agencies in 3 states where local
checking agencies are responsible for
conducting background checks. Based
on testing of the current survey form
and BJS’s extensive history conducting
the FIST collection, BJS estimates that
the burden will vary depending on the
number of permit or transfer types the
respondent agency conducts
background checks: 20 minutes for
agencies that conduct background
checks for 1 type; 30 minutes for
agencies that conduct background
checks for 2 types; and 30 minutes for
state reporting agencies. The overall
estimated burden is 25 minutes, which
is consistent with the burden associated
with the 3 most recent collections (2012,
2014, and 2015).
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 435
hours annually. It is estimated that
respondents will take 25 minutes to
complete a questionnaire. The burden
hours for collecting respondent data
sum to 435 hours (1,044 respondents ×
25 minutes = 435 hours).

The Department of Justice,
Federal Bureau of Investigation, Critical
Incident Response Group has submitted
the following information collection
request to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and clearance
in accordance with established review
procedures of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register allowing for a 60
day comment period.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted for an additional 30
days until February 23, 2017.
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, please contact
Lesa Marcolini, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Critical Incident Response
Group, FBI Academy, Quantico,
Virginia 22135.
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.
SUMMARY:

Department sponsoring the collection:
There is no agency form number
applicable to this survey.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
Primary: Federal, state, local, and
tribal government law enforcement
agencies to which the NCAVC has
provided investigative assistance.
Abstract: The mission of the National
Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime
(NCAVC) combines investigative and
operational support functions, research,
and training in order to provide
assistance, without charge, to law
enforcement agencies investigating
unusual or repetitive violent crimes.
The NCAVC also provides support
through expertise and consultation in
non-violent matters such as national
security, corruption, and white-collar
crime investigations.
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 100
respondents per calendar year will be
contacted to complete a survey
consisting of 11 questions. An
approximate non-response rate of 50%
is anticipated. It is estimated that a
burden of approximately three to five
minutes, or .05 to .08 hours, will be cast
upon each respondent to complete the
survey, with a total estimate of five to
8.3 hours in a calendar year for all
respondents combined, if all
respondents complete a survey. If the
expected non-response rate of 50%
holds true, then the combined burden
estimate drops to approximately 2.5 to
4.2 hours per calendar year. The
NCAVC estimates little to no variability
within this time estimate based upon on
individualized data retrieval systems,
availability of requested data, and other
variables, because this survey is
intended to assess customer satisfaction
rather than generate empirical data.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 20–32 annual burden hours.
