Application for Federal Firearms License and Part B—Responsible Person Questionnaire—ATF Form 7 (5310.12)/7CR (5310.16)

Action
60-Day notice
Purpose

Section 922 of chapter 44 of title 18 requires persons wishing to be licensed to complete ATF Form 7 (5310.12A)/7CR (5310.16) and for persons wishing to be added as a responsible person to complete Part B of ATF Form 7 (5310.12A)/7CR (5310.16) to certify compliance with provisions of the law for the FFL business. The information collection (IC) OMB #1140– 0018 is being revised to include material and non-material changes to the form, such as formatting changes to include an added header (added ‘‘Part B— Responsible Person Questionnaire’’ to the top of the page), spelling corrections, added verbiage, added references, grammatical changes (sentence rephrasing/statement modification), and updated definitions. There is also an increase in the average total respondents and responses from 13,000 per year to 25,000 per year, since the last renewal in 2020. Consequentially, the total annual burden hours have increased by 12,000 hours.
