Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking
Purpose
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) proposes to amend Department of Justice (“Department”) regulations regarding the permanent import provisions of the Arms Export Control Act (“AECA”). The proposed rule would allow importers to apply for ATF authorization to convert items imported temporarily—under a Department of State (“DOS”) authorization or under the entry clearance requirements for temporary imports in the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) maintained by the Department of Commerce (“DOC”)—to permanent imports in compliance with other applicable federal firearms laws, without having to export and then reimport the items.
