The information collection is necessary for the safety of emergency response personnel responding to fires at sites where explosives are stored. Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140– 0071 is being revised to update the overall public burden, which includes the monetized value of the hour burden per response, an increase of respondents from 975 to 10,000, and increased postage cost from 49 cents to 73 cents. Together, these changes resulted in an increase in annual burden hours from 488 to 5,000, an annual monetized value of the hour burden increase to $223,950, and an annual increase in postage costs from $359 to $1,825.
Chapter 40 of title 18 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) provides that no person may engage in the explosives business without first obtaining a license or permit to do so. Licenses or permits are issued for a specific period and are renewable upon the same conditions as the original license or permit. In order to continue uninterrupted in these activities, licenses and permits can be renewed by filing a short renewal application. Comment Period: 11/18/2024 to 12/18/2024
