    Abstract: Section 923 of Chapter 44 of Title 18 requires persons 
wishing to be licensed to renew their license every three years. In 
order to renew their license, licensees must complete ATF Form 8 
(5310.11) Part II to certify compliance with the provisions of the law 
for the FFL business. Information Collection (IC) OMB is being revised 
to include major material changes to the form, such as removal and 
addition of section items, grammatical changes (sentence rephrasing/
statement modification) and instruction modification and clarification.

Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a previously 
approved collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Federal Firearms License (FFL) 
RENEWAL Application.
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection: Form number: ATF Form 8 
(5310.11) Part II.
    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 the obligation to respond: Affected Public: Individuals or 
households, Private Sector-for or not for profit institutions. The 
obligation to respond is mandatory per Title 18 U.S.C., Chapter 44.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 
33,500 respondents will respond to this collection once annually, and 
it will take each respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete their 
responses.
    6. An estimate of the total annual burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 16,750 total hours, which is equal to 33,500 (total 
respondents) * 1 (# of response per respondent) * 0.5 (30 minutes).
    7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the 
collection, if applicable: No new cost is associated with this 
collection. However, the annual cost has increased due to a change in 
the postal rate from $0.63 during the last renewal in 2023, to $0.73 in 
2024. Consequently, the new public cost burden will be reported as 
$24,455.00, which is equal to .73 (mailing cost per respondent) * 
33,500 (# of respondents).
