Overview of this information:

(1)*Type of Information Collection:* Approval of an Existing Collection.

(2)*Title of the Forms:* The National Instant Criminal Background Check System

(4)*Affected Public who will be asked or required to respond, as well as a brief abstract:* *Primary:* Full State Points of Contact

(POC), Partial-POCs, Alternate Permit State POCs. *Brief Abstract:* This collection is requested of Full State Points of Contact (POCs), Partial POCs, and Alternate Permit State POCs. Per 28 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 25.6(h), POC States are required to transmit electronic determination messages to the Federal Bureau of Investigation

(FBI)Criminal Justice Information Services Division's National Instant Criminal Background Check System

(NICS)Section of the status of a firearm background check in those instances in which a transaction is “open” (transactions unresolved before the end of the operational day on which the transaction was initiated); “denied” transactions; transactions reported to the NICS as open and subsequently changed to proceed; and overturned denials. The State POC must communicate this response to the NICS immediately upon communicating their determination to the Federal Firearms Licensee or in those cases in which a response has not been communicated, no later than the end of the operational day in which the transaction was initiated. For those responses that are not received, the NICS will assume the transaction resulted in a “proceed.”

(5)*An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of time estimated for an average respondent to respond:* There are 21 State POCs and ten Alternate Permit State POCs who conduct an average of 4,312,811 transactions per year. It is estimated that 26 percent would be affected by this collection and would require electronic messages sent to the NICS. This translates to 1,121,331 transactions, which would be the total number of annual responses. The other 74 percent would not be reported in this collection. It will require one minute (60 seconds) for each POC State to transmit the information per transaction to the NICS. Thus, it is estimated that collectively all respondents will spend 18,689 hours yearly submitting determinations to the NICS. If the number of transactions were distributed evenly among the POC States, then 603 hours would be the estimated time for each of the 31 states to respond. Record keeping time is part of the routine business process and is not part of this calculation.

(6)*An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated with the collection:* The average yearly hour burden for submitting final determinations combined is: (4,312,811 total checks × 26 percent)/60 seconds = 18,689 hours.

These whistleblower protections prohibit an employer from discharging or otherwise retaliating against an employee with respect to compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment because the employee engages in any of the activities specified in the particular statute as a protected activity. This information collection covers the whistleblower protection provisions under the following statutes:

(1)Safe Water Drinking Act, 42 U.S.C. 300j-9(I);

(2)Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. 1367;

(3)Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. 2622;

(9)Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 18 U.S.C. 1514A, and

(10)Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, 49 U.S.C. 60129. Regulations at 29 CFR part 24, 29 CFR part 1979, 29 CFR part 1980, and 29 CFR part 1981 set forth the procedures for the handling of retaliation complaints under these Federal employee protection statutes. Employees who believe that they have been discriminated against by employers, in violation of whistleblower provisions in certain law, for reporting unlawful practices that adversely affect occupational safety and health, and the environment, are required to place their allegations in writing so they may, where appropriate, be investigated by the Department of Labor.
