Application To Amend Federal Firearms License-ATF Form 5300.38 (OMB Number 1140-0040)

The Gun Control Act at 18 U.S.C. 923 and implementing regulations at 27 CFR 478.50 and 52, require licensees to obtain a license to operate from ATF before beginning operations, or if already licensed, to first apply to amend a license and receive a new license for the new location. To make it easier for licensees to submit the necessary information when changing location of their business premises during an existing license period, ATF has prescribed that licensees submit Form 5300.38, notifying ATF of the proposed location change, certifying compliance with state and local requirements, and providing other information necessary to determine that operations can commence at the new location.
