Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Voluntary Appeal File (VAF) Application Form.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of the Department sponsoring the collection: 1110-0043 The applicable component within the Department of Justice is the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract: Primary: Potential firearm purchasers. If a potential purchaser is delayed or denied a firearm and successfully appeals the decision, the NICS Section cannot retain a record of the overturned appeal or the supporting documentation. If the record is not able to be updated or the fingerprints are non-identical to a disqualifying record used in the evaluation, the purchaser continues to be delayed or denied, and if that individual appeals the decision, the documentation/information ( e.g., fingerprint cards, court records, pardons, etc.) must be resubmitted for every subsequent purchase. The VAF was established per 28 CFR, Part 25.10(g), for this reason. By this process, applicants can voluntarily request the NICS Section maintain information about themselves in the VAF to prevent future extended delays or denials of a firearm transfer.
5. 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 it takes to read, complete, and upload documents is 30 minutes. Travel time to the fingerprinting facility and post office is not factored in the time estimate. The BSS Section estimates 3,737 respondents yearly.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: With 3,737 applicants responding, the formula for applicant burden hours would be as follows: (3,737 respondents × .5 hours) = 1,868.5 hours.
