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).

The changes are designed to provide clarity and enhance uniformity throughout these regulations.
2014-08-04; vol. 79 # 149 - Monday, August 4, 2014 79 FR 45091 - Elimination of Firearms Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473 (Low Volume) (2008R-21P)
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Final rule. This rule is effective October 3, 2014. 27 CFR Part 478 Summary The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) by eliminating the Firearms Transaction Record, ATF Form 4473 (Low Volume (LV)), Parts I and II. Federally licensed firearms dealers used this form as an alternate record for the receipt and disposition of firearms. Because licensees rarely use Form 4473 (LV), ATF has determined that continued use of this form is unwarranted and it should be eliminated. Licensees will be required to use the standard Form 4473 for all dispositions and maintain a record of the acquisition and disposition of firearms in accordance with the regulations.

2014-10-07; vol. 79 # 194 - Tuesday, October 7, 2014 79 FR 60391 - Rules of Practice in Explosives License and Permit Proceedings (2007R-5P); Revisions Reflecting Changes Consistent With the Homeland Security Act of 2002
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 January 5, 2015. 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 478, 555, and 771 Summary The Department of Justice proposes to codify the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) procedures and practices in connection with the disapproval of initial applications, denials of renewal, and revocations of explosives licenses or permits. The proposed regulations will be codified in a new part entitled “Rules and Practice in License and Permit Proceedings.” The proposed regulations are based upon the regulations that ATF relied upon prior to its transfer from the Department of the Treasury to the Department of Justice. Additionally, the Department proposes minor revisions to regulations governing administrative proceedings related to the denial, suspension, or revocation of a license, and the imposition of a civil fine under Federal firearms law to reference regulations under ATF authority. These proposed revisions remove all references to statutes, regulations, positions, and other terms that are applicable only to the Department of the Treasury. These revisions reflect ATF's position as a regulatory and enforcement agency under the Department of Justice and are consistent with the proposed regulations governing administrative hearing processes for explosives licenses and permits.
2014-08-12; vol. 79 # 155 - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 79 FR 47033 - Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition—Reporting Theft or Loss of Firearms in Transit (2007R-9P)
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 November 10, 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 478 Summary The Department of Justice proposes amending Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regulations that concern firearms stolen or lost in transit. The proposed rule specifies that when a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) discovers a firearm it shipped was stolen or lost in transit, that sender/transferor FFL must report the theft or loss to ATF and to the appropriate local authority. The rule also reduces an FFL's reporting burden when a theft or loss involves a firearm registered under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and ensures consistent reporting to ATF's NFA Branch. In addition, the rule specifies that transferor/sender FFLs must reflect the theft or loss of a firearm as a disposition entry in their required records not later than 7 days following discovery of the theft or loss, and specifies that FFLs that report the theft or loss of a firearm and later discover its whereabouts must advise ATF that the firearm has been located and must re-enter the firearm into their required records as an acquisition or disposition entry as appropriate.
