Abstract: In November 1993, the
Brady Handgun Violence Prevention
Act of 1993 (Brady Act), Public Law
103–159, was signed into law and
required Federal Firearms Licensees
(FFL) to request background checks on
individuals attempting to purchase a
firearm. The permanent provisions of
the Brady Act, which went into effect on
November 20, 1998, required the United
States Attorney General to establish the
NICS whereas FFLs may contact by
telephone or other electronic means in
addition to telephone for information to
be supplied within three business days
or whether the receipt of a firearm by a
prospective transferee would violate
Section 922(g) or (n) of Title 18, united
States Code, or state law. There are
additional authorized uses of the NICS
found at Title 28, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Section 25.6(j). The
FBI authorized the CJAs to initiate a
NICS check to assist their transfer of
firearms to private individuals as a
change to 28 CFR 25.6(j) in the Federal
Register, Volume 78, Number 18 pages
5757–5760.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimate of the total
number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average
respondent to respond: It is estimated
the time burden associated with this
collection is 3 minutes per transaction,
depending on the individual
circumstances. The total annual

respondent entities taking advantage of
this disposition process is 18,000 CJAs.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: It is estimated the burden
associated with this collection is 3
minutes per transaction depending on
individual circumstances. If each of the
18,000 respondents conducted 3
dispositions with this authority per year
at 3 minutes per check, then it is
anticipated the business burden would
be 2,700 hours per year.
