Application for Explosives License or Permit (ATF Form 5400.13/5400.16) (OMB Number 1140- 0070)

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires agencies to publish proposed information collections in the Federal Register for public comment before an agency can use the process (generally a form) to collect information from the public. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, this notice provides 60 days for public comment on the extension without change of a currently approved collection. The proposed information collection pertains to Chapter 40, Title 18, U.S.C., and its requirement that any person engaged in the business of explosive materials as a dealer, manufacturer, or importer shall be licensed (18.U.S.C. 842 (a) (1)). In addition, provisions are made for the issuance of permits for those who wish to use explosive materials that are shipped in interstate or foreign commerce..
