Abstract: The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 (Brady Act) requires the United States Attorney General to establish a NICS that any FFL may contact, by telephone or by other electronic means, for information to be supplied immediately, on whether receipt of a firearm to a prospective purchaser would violate state or federal law. FFLs must enroll in the NICS in order to legally conduct checks on the NICS.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The estimated amount of packets to be mailed has decreased as obtaining online copies has become a more prevalent method of distribution amongst the respondents. Approximately half of the FFL packets will be mailed at the standard rate and the other half will be mailed at the first class pre-sort rate so that FFLs on the west coast can receive their packets in an expeditious manner. The ATF Distribution Center will receive boxes of packets that will be mailed in bulk or individually by the ATF, also cutting the cost. Additionally, the staff and equipment costs are now prorated among all areas of service and the figure is absorbed proportionally among the CJIS Division as the CJIS Division is continuously manned with multiple copy machines.
