Abstract: The information requested on the Application for Restoration of Firearms Privileges—ATF Form 3210.1, fulfills the requirements of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44. Specifically, individuals prohibited from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting firearms, are permitted to apply for the restoration of their firearms privileges, using ATF Form 3210.1. Currently, only corporations may apply for relief, since Congress has not appropriated funds for individuals who are prohibited.

(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 10 respondents will utilize the form annually, and it will take each respondent approximately 30 minutes to complete their responses.

(6) An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with this collection is five (5) hours, which is equal to 10 (# of respondents) * 1 (# of responses per respondent) * .5 (30 minutes or the time to complete each response).

(7) An Explanation of the Change in Estimates: Due to a congressional restriction, use of this IC is currently limited to corporations and not individuals. As such, the total respondents has reduced by 240, since the last renewal in 2017. Although postage costs increased from .49 per respondent during the 2017 to $0.55 currently, the total public cost burden reduced by $117.50.
