OMB approves ATF Form 2 information collection with change

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) acted on October 30, 2026, on an information collection request covering ATF Form 2, according to a record posted on RegInfo.gov. The record lists the status as "Approved with change."

The request, numbered ICR 202610-1140-015, covers ATF Form 2 under OMB control number 1140-0012. It was filed as an "Extension without change of a currently approved collection" and was received on October 27, 2026. The approval was recorded three days later.

The RegInfo.gov record also lists an earlier stage for the same form. That earlier entry describes a reinstatement without change at the 60-day notice stage. The 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register as document 2026-20842 on October 13, 2026, and the record lists comments as due December 14, 2026.

The two entries use different descriptions. The current request is labeled an extension, while the earlier 60-day notice entry is labeled a reinstatement. The record does not explain the difference.

What is not yet known

The RegInfo.gov record does not describe what change, if any, OMB made in approving the request, and it does not state an expiration date for the approval. It also does not say how the October 30 decision relates to the 60-day comment period, which the record lists as running until December 14, 2026. ATF has not published an explanation in the source material available for this article.
