2018-03-29; vol. 83 # 61 - Thursday, March 29, 2018 83 FR 13442 - Bump-Stock-Type Devices
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Notice of proposed rulemaking. Written comments must be postmarked and electronic comments must be submitted on or before June 27, 2018. Commenters should be aware that the electronic Federal Docket Management System will not accept comments after midnight Eastern Daylight Time on the last day of the comment period. 27 CFR Parts 447, 478, and 479 Summary The Department of Justice (Department) proposes to amend the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives regulations to clarify that “bump fire” stocks, slide-fire devices, and devices with certain similar characteristics (bump-stock-type devices) are “machineguns” as defined by the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) and the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), because such devices allow a shooter of a semiautomatic firearm to initiate a continuous firing cycle with a single pull of the trigger. Specifically, these devices convert an otherwise semiautomatic firearm into a machinegun by functioning as a self-acting or self-regulating mechanism that harnesses the recoil energy of the semiautomatic firearm in a manner that allows the trigger to reset and continue firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter. Hence, a semiautomatic firearm to which a bump-stock-type device is attached is able to produce automatic fire with a single pull of the trigger. With limited exceptions, primarily as to government agencies, the GCA makes it unlawful for any person to transfer or possess a machinegun unless it was lawfully possessed prior to the effective date of the statute. The bump-stock-type devices covered by this proposed rule were not in existence prior to the GCA's effective date, and therefore would fall within the prohibition on machineguns if this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) is implemented. Consequently, current possessors of these devices would be required to surrender them, destroy them, or otherwise render them permanently inoperable upon the effective date of the final rule.
2015-05-29; vol. 80 # 103 - Friday, May 29, 2015 80 FR 30615 - Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Defense Articles—Removal of Certain Defense Articles Currently on the U.S. Munitions Import List That No Longer Warrant Import Control Under the Arms Export Control Act (2011R-25P)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Final rule. This rule is effective June 29, 2015. 27 CFR Part 447 Summary The Department of Justice is finalizing without change an amendment to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives regulations to remove those defense articles currently on the United States Munitions Import List that ATF by delegation has determined no longer warrant import control under the Arms Export Control Act.
2014-08-11; vol. 79 # 154 - Monday, August 11, 2014 79 FR 46690 - Technical Amendments to Regulations
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Final rule. This rule is effective August 11, 2014. 27 CFR Parts 447, 478, 479, 555, and 646 Summary This final rule makes technical amendments and corrects typographical errors in ATF regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Many of the technical changes are being made to reflect changes in nomenclature resulting from the transfer of ATF to the Department of Justice from the Department of the Treasury pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The changes are designed to provide clarity and enhance uniformity throughout these regulations.
2014-03-27; vol. 79 # 59 - Thursday, March 27, 2014 79 FR 17024 - Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Defense Articles—Removal of Certain Defense Articles Currently on the U.S. Munitions Import List That No Longer Warrant Import Control Under the Arms Export Control Act (2011R-25P)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Interim final rule with request for comments. Effective date: This interim final rule is effective April 28, 2014. Comment date: Written comments must be postmarked and electronic comments must be submitted on or before June 25, 2014. Commenters should be aware that the electronic Federal Docket Management System will not accept comments after Midnight Eastern Time on the last day of the comment period. 27 CFR Part 447 Summary The Department of Justice is amending Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regulations to remove those defense articles currently on the U.S. Munitions Import List that ATF by delegation has determined no longer warrant import control under the Arms Export Control Act.
2014-02-07; vol. 79 # 26 - Friday, February 7, 2014 79 FR 7392 - Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Implements of War and Machine Guns, Destructive Devices, and Certain Other Firearms; Extending the Term of Import Permits (2010R-26P)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Final rule. This rule is effective April 8, 2014. 27 CFR Parts 447 and 479 Summary This rule amends the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to extend the standard term of import permits for firearms, ammunition, and defense articles from 1 year to 2 years. The additional time will allow importers sufficient time to complete the importation of the authorized commodity. In addition, it will eliminate the need for the importer to submit a new import application, ATF Form 6, where the importation was not completed within the 1-year period. Extending the term of import permits will result in a substantial cost and time savings for both the industry and ATF, and will not cause any discernible adverse effects. This rulemaking proceeding is included in the Department of Justice's retrospective review plan developed pursuant to Executive Order 13563, “Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review.”
2013-04-22; vol. 78 # 77 - Monday, April 22, 2013 78 FR 23675 - Importation of Defense Articles and Defense Services—U.S. Munitions Import List (2011R-20P)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Final rule. This rule is effective April 22, 2013. 27 CFR Part 447 Summary The Department of Justice is amending Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regulations to remove the cross reference to the regulatory United States Munitions List (USML) of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) that appears at 27 CFR 447.21; to clarify that the Attorney General exercises delegated authority pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and Executive Order 13637 to designate defense articles and defense services as part of the statutory USML for purposes of permanent import controls, regardless of whether the Secretary of State controls such defense articles or defense services for purposes of export and temporary import; and to clarify that defense articles and defense services controlled pursuant to the Attorney General's delegated AECA authority are part of the statutory USML (along with those that are controlled for export and temporary import by the Secretary of State), but that the list of defense articles and defense services controlled by the Attorney General is labeled the USMIL to distinguish it from the list of defense articles and defense services in the ITAR that are controlled by the Secretary of State.
2012-02-06; vol. 77 # 24 - Monday, February 6, 2012 77 FR 5735 - Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Implements of War and Machine Guns, Destructive Devices, and Certain Other Firearms; Extending the Term of Import Permits (2010R-26P)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Notice of proposed rulemaking. Written comments must be postmarked and electronic comments must be submitted on or before May 7, 2012. Commenters should be aware that the electronic Federal Docket Management System will not accept comments after midnight Eastern Time on the last day of the comment period. 27 CFR Parts 447 and 479 Summary The Department of Justice is proposing to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to extend the term of import permits for firearms, ammunition, and defense articles from 1 year to 2 years. The additional time will allow importers sufficient time to complete the importation of the authorized commodity. In addition, it will eliminate the need for the importer to submit a new import application, ATF Form 6, where the importation was not completed within the 1-year period. Extending the term of import permits will result in a substantial cost and time savings for both the industry and ATF. This proposed change would be consistent with Executive Order 13563 of January 18, 2011, which directs agencies to review existing significant rules to make regulatory programs more effective or less burdensome in achieving regulatory objectives.
