SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register, on June 28, 2018 (83 FR 
30458), allowing for a 60-day comment period. 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 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: Revision 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: 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: Individuals or households, Farms, and State, Local, or 
Tribal Government.
    Abstract: The collection of information is necessary for the safety 
of emergency response personnel responding to fires at sites where 
explosives are stored. The information is provided both orally and in 
writing to the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the 
locality in which explosives are stored.
    (5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount 
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 
975 respondents will respond once to this information collection, and 
it will take each respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete their 
responses on the template provided by ATF.
    (6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 488 hours, which is equal to 975 (# of respondents) 
* 1 (# of responses per respondents) * .5 (30 minutes).
    (7) An explanation of the change in estimate: The total responses 
and burden hours associated with this IC were reduced by 50 and 25 
respectively, due to less respondents since the previous renewal in 
2015. However, the total costs for this IC have increased by $27, due 
to an increase in mailing costs from 45 cents in 2015 to 50 cents in 
2018.
