ATF is proposing to eliminate the requirement that NFA applicants send a copy of their application and Responsible Person Questionnaire (ATF Form 5320.23) to their local Chief Law Enforcement Officer. This longstanding requirement has faced repeated legal challenges and has not delivered meaningful public safety benefits. The change would simplify the process for law-abiding applicants.

ATF is proposing a technical update to amend the language in its subset of regulations under the Arms Export Control Act to match the terminology already used in the State Department’s U.S. Munitions List. Aligning these definitions would reduce ambiguity for Federal Firearms Licensees, Federal Explosives Licensees, and defense‑industry stakeholders.

Congress gives executive agencies the power to create federal rules to define how laws will be interpreted and enforced. By law, agencies must seek and consider public input before finalizing any rule. The 6-step process is simple, transparent, and open to the public. Participation strengthens policy; your comments matter. The proposed and final rules submitted last week are beginning to show up in the Federal Register.
