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. This collection is to allow FFLs to enroll into the NICS
program
US Code:
5 USC
552a Name of Law: records maintained on individuals
The estimated amounts of forms
to be mailed to the FFLs has significantly reduced due to the
forms’ availability on the Internet. In addition, the cost to the
Federal Government significantly reduced as a result of the
downloadable form on the Internet. Also, CJIS NICS has experienced
an increase in FFL participation which increased from 3,000 (in
2013) to 4,872 annual responses.
