This may be what saves the eForms effort:



4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

This.  

We need to ask questions about how these forms can be done electronically to comply with the governments mandate to reduce paper and clutter.

Has anyone found the new 5320.23 Responsible Person form yet? I've only seen older draft versions with the old CLEO signoff.

Nvm found the definition of responsible person.

Photograph and Fingerprints. An individual maker (including any Federally licensed collector who is an individual but not any other type of Federal  rearms licensee) must (1) attach to each copy in item 12 of the ATF
Form 1, a 2 inch x 2 inch photograph of his/her frontal view taken within one year prior to the date of the application.

How is it trading freedome?

ATF rule 41 does not prevent making or acquisition of firearms (as defined) by business entities (including trusts), nor does it preclude trusts or other business entities from having multiple authorized possessors.


What rule 41 does do is take reasonable steps to prevent facially lawful possession of firearms by prohibited persons and remove burden found by many individuals to be insurmountable  (which was impetus for most business entity registrations in the first place).

It kills eForms.

It increases the processing time for forms.

It adds extra time and expense to prepare each form for submission. (Photographs and getting fingerprinted is not free)

It forces me to share a tax record (Form 1) with a local law enforcement official that has no right to said tax record. BATFE deflects any request for information about NFA applications (see Nolo's cases or the numerous failed FOIA attempts) because they are tax records, yet they are now requiring my trust to submit private tax records to CLEO.

It requires detailed personal information about all responsible persons to be sent to CLEO. The privacy that should come with having a trust, LLC, company, partnership, or corporation, in terms of the members of said entity, is destroyed by 41F. What protection do we have that our CLEO won't disclose this information publicly? What protection do we have that our CLEO won't use this information in a manner inconsistent with basic privacy practices or detrimental to the responsible person? Will they protect this information properly? What happens when the CLEO has a information breach and every NFA form for their jurisdiction is compromised?

There is nothing reasonable about this.

We should be fighting this new rule every possibility we can get, like someone said earlier, it will be much easier to remove the sign off than getting rid of these new requirements once they are in effect. Our ultimate goal should be to abolish the NFA. But for those saying big woop, makes it easier for me so why should I care/ I actually do support this, you sound like the fudds who say why would you need a semi auto. We need to stand together, there are enough people out there waiting for their chance to rips us and our rights apart.

I've highlighted the portions from both of you I find incorrect, or correct.

41f DOESN'T prevent prohibited persons from being added to a trust.  It only prevents them from being a member of the trust when a new stamp is applied for.

It does make filing by an individual much easier.

Photographs and fingerprints are free.  Have a cell phone?  BATFE will mail you the fingerprint cards, and anyone can take the fingerprints.

41f DOESN'T require detailed personal information about ALL responsible persons to be sent to CLEO - only those in the trust @ the time of the stamp application.  Those added to the trust after the stamp is approved need no further notification to CLEO.

I'm tired of this bullshit about adding and removing trustees just to file a fucking Form 1 or Form 4.

A trust is a legal entity designed to provide a well organized and efficient means of utilizing and benefiting from property, and in the case of death to convey property to others outside of probate and with the least hassle or delay. It is not a fucking favorites list or speed dial setting on your phone.

I don't want to have to remove a trustee from my trust unless death or grave and unforgivable personal events make doing so necessary. I do not want a second to go by where my trust is not setup as intended to provide the greatest benefit and easiest conveyance of the property in the trust to the trustees and beneficiaries of the trust.

This isn't a fucking game, and I'm getting tired of hearing the virtues of various workarounds and cheat codes being presented as reasons to accept this unlawful and unnecessary change.

Unfortunately, it is lawful.  BATFE is the agency charged by Congress to administer the NFA, by regulation, and enforcing those regulations.

I will find grounds upon which this can and will be fought in the legal system.

Just because Congress gives an agency the power to write regulations does not make those regulations lawful. If it did, you'd have agencies demanding the right of jus primae noctis in order to get a permit, or payments of exorbitant fees to the director of the agency before getting approval of a request.

Congress may have given them some limited authority, but contrary to the belief system in place at DOJ they are not God.

I'm trying to think of a good way to word the tax angle of this.  Since the BATFE claims NFA data is a tax record and thus protected then publishing this information to the CLEO currently goes against that policy since (please correct me if I am wrong) they are not privy to NFA records and only ATF agents can access this information directly.  The wording I am trying to put together is trying to get them to speak to whether this policy change will remove the tax record status of NFA items and therefore opening registrations to further discovery and FOIA requests.  



Let's see if they can explain why some records are published and others are considered private after 41F.  




I know I am pissing up a rope on this one, but at least if we can get them to document their change in policy then maybe future cases (or even Nolo's cases) could benefit from such statements when the government tries to hide behind the NFA as a tax record.

"will the form 1 be able to be submitted electronically to reduce the burden on someone submitting the form since sending it in the mail is a massive burden between the purchase of the stamp, envelope, and having to send it through an archaic 20th century process versus just sending it electronically."

Maybe they will respond to this one and maybe they won't, but I was kind of mad at USPS when I sent it so I wanted to get a shot in at the USPS since it will most likely be printed.

I have gone ahead and created my own form letter for each form where all I have to do is just plug in an question I feel like.

Got a response from the ATF about my question.

"We hope to have funding to allow the electronic submission of the forms subsequent to the changes resulting from the rulemaking.  At this time, we do not know what funding will be provided, which forms will be developed, and when."

So basically no.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the CLEO statement on 5320.23 seems to allow just as much latitude as the prior CLEO certification. As written, they have simply given the CLEO a different form to refuse to sign unless there is legal wording to compel signature (e.g. "shall sign").

We haven't seen the final 5320.23, so we don't know for sure.

We should have seen it already, but BATFE announced it in the Federal Register and has not posted it to their own site, reginfo.gov, or regulations.gov. They must have learned that playing by the rules is hard and it's better to break the law that follow it, at least if you are an agency in the Obama administration.

Anything up to or before 6/30/16 can be done with the old forms.

No only are you allowed to comment, it's pretty much your duty as an American gunowner to do so.

Will it have any impact on the implementation of 41F? In theory, yes. If valid comments are not addressed, the final forms cannot be made final. BATFE has gone to great lengths to make the process as opaque as possible and bypass, sidestep, or outright break as many OMB and APA rules as they can, but that doesn't mean we can't put up a good fight in spite of their efforts.

From what I can tell, they have ONE MAN answering these comments. Our job is to overwhelm ONE GOD FORSAKEN AGENT OF THE STATE. One. Not a legion of soulless enforcers. Not a building full of automatons. One man.

The question is simply a matter of asking whether or not the freedom loving gun owners can ask more questions by 4/17/16 than Mr. Gary N. Shaible is capable of answering before 7/13/16.

One man.

1. It is stickied / tacked. That's where meaningful threads go to die.

2. Half of the interested parties think "But it's good for individuals, or people in Illinois, or one-legged-axe-murders" and move right along

3. It lacks Trump, Trannys, boobs, Super Precision, or Dillo Dust.

4. There aren't a lot of people on Earth that care about the Administrative Procedures Act.... trying to leverage it to undo an injustice requires first educating the masses on how it works. Most of those represented by "the masses" rarely would take the time to copy and paste a form letter. Asking for independent action, even though they'll post independent opinions and comments all day long here, is asking a lot.


Fuck, if Mark Larue would offer 5 MBT triggers (or Bill Geissele an equal number of his triggers) and the only way to become eligible would be to BCC them on a comment sent to BATFE regarding these Forms, we'd have 5k comments by the end of March. Unfortunately, no one that matters cares, and few that care matter (in the "ability to rally the troops" sense).

OST. Thanks

Friendly reminder: Keep your comments professional and on point.

"With regards to the supporting documentation required, why is it necessary to submit fingerprints, photographs and a 5320.23 each time an application is made to transfer or make an NFA item? Specifically, the submission of mulitple copies of the same documentation seems to violate the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995."

"On November 28, 2011, the White House issued a Presidential Memorandum for managing government records (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/11/28/presidential-memorandum-managing-government-records). Can you explain how the implementation of 41F conforms to this memorandum? More specifically, will the BATFE be issuing guidance to local, state and other federal agencies on how to properly process, store and maintain forms submitted in conjunction with the transfer or making of an NFA item."

"The proposed 5320.23 form contains a great deal of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Is the BATFE prepared to accept the liability of possible mismanagement of PII information by requiring makers or transferees of NFA items to transfer PII to agencies and departments who may have not received the proper training on the management of such information?"

"Can you explain why the use of the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) does not satisfy the requirement for the transfer or making of an NFA item? Why should potential NFA owners be required to submit fingerprints and photographs with each NFA item transferred or made when technological solutions exist that are faster, require less manpower and operate within an infrastructure already used for criminal background checks."

"Hi, I am wondering if the added steps that are necessary to now submit fingerprints and photographs for trusts put an undo burden on the collectors that use trusts.  Specifically, how do I submit fingerprints and photos of my yet to be born son, who is currently in utero."

Got a response from the ATF about my question.

"We hope to have funding to allow the electronic submission of the forms subsequent to the changes resulting from the rulemaking.  At this time, we do not know what funding will be provided, which forms will be developed, and when."

So basically no.

"will the form 1 be able to be submitted electronically to reduce the burden on someone submitting the form since sending it in the mail is a massive burden between the purchase of the stamp, envelope, and having to send it through an archaic 20th century process versus just sending it electronically."

Maybe they will respond to this one and maybe they won't, but I was kind of mad at USPS when I sent it so I wanted to get a shot in at the USPS since it will most likely be printed.

I have gone ahead and created my own form letter for each form where all I have to do is just plug in an question I feel like.

Take a look at this one and this one as well. They all pertain to the same issues.
