Application and Permit for Permanent Exportation of Firearms (OMB Number 1140–0008)

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 30 days for public comment on the proposed revision of an existing collection. The information collection pertains to information requested on a form used to obtain permission to export firearms and serves as a vehicle to allow either the removal of the firearm from registration in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record or collection of an excise tax. The change to this form is to reflect the Department of State and the Department of Commerce share responsibility for issuance of export licenses.
