ATF will be submitting the following information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). The proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register, 91 FR 25448, on May 8, 2026, allowing a 60-day comment period.
This interim notice informs the public that ATF is requesting that OMB extend the existing ICR 1140-0020 without change. ATF will be publishing the usual second notice for a 30-day public comment period on proposed changes to the ICR thereafter.
The request to extend the existing ICR is necessary to ensure continuity while ATF considers the public comments, so that federal firearms licensees continue to have a valid form on which to record firearms transactions in accordance with applicable regulations. In the subsequent 30-day notice, ATF will summarize as usual the public comments it received on the ICR's proposed changes, provide responses, and note any changes that might result. The public will have 30 days to then submit comments to OMB on the ICR, as per the usual PRA process.
