Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy

A firearm with a pen laying on an official application to own or manufacture a firearm.

On June 23, 2021, President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a Gun Crime Prevention Strategy. Part of that strategy focuses on Industry Operations conducting compliance inspections of Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) aimed at further identifying licensees who commit willful violations of the Gun Control Act (GCA). Each of the following qualifying violations which impact public safety will result in ATF issuing a notice of revocation, absent extraordinary circumstances:

  • Refusal to allow an IOI to conduct an inspection 
  • Transferring a firearm to a prohibited person
  • Failing to conduct a required background check
  • Falsifying records
  • Failing to respond to a trace request

Pursuant to the GCA, ATF’s authority to revoke a license is limited to when the record shows that an FFL willfully committed at least one violation of the GCA or its regulations, including but not limited to, the above list. FFLs are entitled to due process throughout the inspection and revocation process. FFLs have the right to a hearing and can appeal a final license revocation in federal court. Additional information about the revocation process is available.
