Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking
Purpose
ATF proposes amending regulatory requirements to submit fingerprints and photographs with firearms applications. Currently, applicants must submit 2″ × 2″ passport-style photographs and either one or two fingerprint cards, depending on the application type. ATF proposes that all applicants, whether individuals or responsible persons (“RPs”) for entity applicants, could instead submit a copy of a photo ID, and that individuals and Gun Control Act RPs would submit just one fingerprint card. RPs under the National Firearms Act would submit one fingerprint card only if needed to facilitate a background check.
