[[Page 57443]]


--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 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.

    Overview of this information collection:
    1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83): 
Extension with change of a currently approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Notification to Fire Safety 
Authority of Storage of Explosive Materials.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:
    Form number (if applicable): None.
    Component: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 
U.S. Department of Justice.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Business or other for-profit.
    Other (if applicable): Individuals or households, Farms, and State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Abstract: The Notification to Fire Safety Authority of Storage of 
Explosive Materials requires both oral and written notifications to 
local fire safety authority about sites where explosive materials are 
stored. This collection is necessary to ensure the safety of emergency 
personnel responding to fires at explosives storage locations.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 653 
respondents will respond once to this collection, and it will take each 
respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete their responses.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 327 hours, which is equal to 653 (total respondents) 
* 1 (# of response per respondent) * .5 (30 minutes or the time taken 
to prepare each response).
    7. An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: The reduction in 
total responses and burden hours from 975 and 488 hours in 2018, to 653 
and 327 hours respectively, is due to fewer respondents during the 
current renewal.
