    effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general 
    public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
    on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by 
    the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C.

    within the Department of the Treasury is soliciting comments concerning 
    the Application for License, Collector of Curios and Relics.
    
    DATES: Written comments should be received on or before December 2, 
    1997 to be assured of consideration.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
        Title: Application for License, Collector of Curios and Relics.
        OMB Number: 1512-0518.
        Form Number: ATF F 7CR (5310.16).
        Abstract: ATF F 7CR (5310.16) is used by the public when applying 
    for a Federal firearms license to collect curios and relics in 
    interstate and foreign commerce. The information requested on the form 
    establishes eligibility for the license.
        Current Actions: Revisions have been made to the form in accordance 
    with new laws and regulations. A new question F. has been added to item 
    8. A newly created DEFINITIONS section has been added to the back of 
    the form. Definition 1. defines ``Restraining Order'' and Definition 2. 
    defines ``Intimate Partner.'' These revisions are necessitated by the 
    Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which amended 
    the Gun Control Act of 1968 to add a new subsection, 18 U.S.C. Section 
    922(g)(8). Also, a new question E. has been added to item 9. Definition 
    3. defines ``Misdemeanor Crime of Domestic Violence.'' These revisions 
    are necessitated by the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 
    1997, which amended the Gun Control Act of 1968 to add a new 
    subsection, 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(9). The last revision is the 
    addition of item 10. APPLICANT CERTIFICATION. Item 10. requires the 
    applicant to certify to certain conditions in order to qualify for a 
    Collector of Curios and Relics license.
        Type of Review: Extension with changes.
        Affected Public: Individuals or households.
        Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,000.
        Estimated Time Per Respondent: 15 minutes.
        Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,500.
        Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
    will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All 
    comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited 
    on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
    proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
    the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
    agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
    ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
    be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
    information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
    collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
    estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
    maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
