**Revisions to This Information Collection**
Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0091 is being revised to change the surveys sent by mail to emailed surveys, and now to online surveys. In addition, ATF has streamlined the invitation process. As a result of these changes, the time burden for individual respondents has decreased from .5 hours to .25 hours. In addition, the number of arson and explosives crime scene events was lower during the past three years, resulting in a decrease in the annual number of respondents, from 32 in 2022 to 18, a decrease of 14 respondents. These combined changes have resulted in a corresponding decrease in total hourly burden from 16 to five, a decrease of 11 hours. In addition, ATF has added a monetized value for the time burden, due to new OMB request, which has not been in previous ICRs.
**Public Comments**
ATF did not receive comments on this information collection during the 60-day notice and comment period.
