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 formsâ 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.
