-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.
Summary of changes: Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0031 is being revised to change the title from `Records of Acquisition and Disposition, Registered Importers of Arms, Ammunition & Implements of War on the U.S. Munitions Import List' to `Records of Acquisition and Disposition by Registered Importers of Arms, Ammunition, and Defense Articles on the U.S. Munitions Import List' to reflect a change in terminology. It is also being slightly revised in the section describing the purpose, to clarify the record-keeping requirements, although those requirements are not changing. In addition, it is being revised to update the time burdens to the public, to keep up with changes to the number of respondents, and to apply a monetized value to the time burden.
Abstract: The records associated with this collection are defense articles other than firearms and ammunition enumerated on the U.S. Munitions Import List. This collection requires importers of such items to maintain records of their importing activities, including the ATF Forms 6 and 6A they submit.
