In March 2018, Congress passed the Fix NICS Act, Pub. L. 115-141, tit. VI, which aims to improve the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), to include requiring the Attorney General, in coordination with each State, to establish an implementation plan. The plan is intended to “ensure maximum coordination and automation of the reporting or making available appropriate records to the [NICS]… and the verification of the accuracy of those records during a 4-year period specified in the plan.” In addition, the Act requires that each plan establish annual benchmarks to enable the Attorney General to assess the implementation of each plan. These benchmarks include qualitative goals, quantitative measures, and a needs assessment with estimated compliance costs. This request is to collect information to aid in the identification and development of these key areas, and to satisfy the requirements of the implementation plan.
As the Section Chief of the Federal Bureau oflnvestigation (FBI), Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division, National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Section, I am seeking an emergency review and approval of the attached NICS State Implementation Plan template pursuant to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). This letter requests emergency approval of the Application by September 28, 2018, in accordance with 44 U.S.C. § 35070 and 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13, which permits such expedited approvals when a collection is needed prior to the expiration of time periods established by the PRA, is essential to the mission of the agency, and would cause a statutory deadline to be missed. See 44 U.S.C. §§ 35070)(1) and 3507(j)(2). This emergency.processing is essential because compliance with normal clearance procedures would cause the statutory deadline to be missed, and would further delay and potentially inhibit the identification and contribution of valuable records necessary for NICS to make accurate and timely decisions regarding the Second Amendment rights of individuals requiring a NICS Background Check.
