ATF Posts Final Order of Executive Action on NFA Firearms and Trusts--Effective 180 Days of Publication in Fed. Register

ATF sealATF has released its final order for executive action on registration of NFA firearms by trusts--to take effect 180 days after its publication in the Federal Register.  It will require so-called 'responsible persons' in a trust to provide fingerprints, photographs, and a form along with applications by a trust to transfer or make an NFA firearm.  The final order replaces the Chief Law Enforcement Officer ("CLEO") certification requirement with CLEO notification.  Thus a CLEO will need to be notified of an NFA registration, but a CLEO's signature will no longer be required.  

As of this writing, this final order had not yet been published in the Federal Register. 

The full text of the final order can be found at this link.

Thus far, this final order has not yet been published in the Federal Register.  Based on previous statements by ATF, any NFA application submitted to ATF within 180 days of the publication of the final order in the Federal Register will be accepted under the current rules.  Therefore, one could create a trust now and submit such an application without the need for fingerprints, photographs, or either CLEO certification or notification.
