Appeals of Background Checks

Purpose:

18 U.S.C. 843(h) requires the Attorney General to conduct background checks on the persons whose names and descriptions accompany the above applications and requires notification to any person determined to be disabled under section 842(i) of this Chapter, as well as information on how the disability may be relieved. The regulations at 27 CFR 555.33 state that an individual who wishes to challenge a determination may direct their challenge to the Director. Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0081 is being revised to include the decrease in total respondents from 500 to 132, and a consequential change in the hourly burden from 1,000 to 396 hours.
