7. Title:
Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Enrollment/National Instant Criminal Background Check
System (NICS) Electronic Check (E-Check) Enrollment Form
Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Officer/Employee Acknowledgment of Responsibilities under
the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Form
10. Abstract:
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 (Brady Act) requires Federal Firearms
Licensees (FFLs) to request background checks on individuals attempting to purchase a firearm.
The permanent provisions of the Brady Act required the United States Attorney General to
establish a national instant criminal background check system that FFLs may contact by
telephone or other electronic means in addition to the telephone for information to be supplied
within three business days on whether the receipt of a firearm by a prospective transferee would
violate Section 922 (g) or (n) of Title 18, United States Code, or state law.
