SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 Bureau of Justice Statistics, 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.

Abstract: Under the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010, ATF must update its strategic plan every four years and identify key external factors that could significantly affect their ability to achieve strategic goals and objectives. For this purpose, ATF conducts outreach for feedback from ATF stakeholders as part of the Bureau's quadrennial assessment process. Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0052 is being revised to include the monetized value of respondent time in this renewal (from $0 to $535), which was not previously included. There has also been a decrease in the number of respondents over time, from 1,500 to 47 and a reduction in the collective hour burden from 450 hours to 2 hours.
