The information collection entitled Inventories: Licensed Explosives Importers, Manufacturers, Dealers, and Permittees, requires that persons engaged in the explosives industry maintain explosive material inventories. The collected information is used by the government to develop audit trails during the course of a compliance inspection or criminal investigation.
US Code:
18 USC Chapter 40
Name of Law: Importation of Manufacture Distribution and Storage of Explosives
The adjustment associated with this collection is a decrease in the number of respondents by 483 and an increase in the total burden hours by 8,950, since the last renewal in 2017. The recalculated burden hours for this collection corresponds with the fact that each respondent responds only once, and also that it will take two (2) hours to provide each response, and not one (1) hour, as was previously reported.
