ATF Adjunct Instructor Data Form

An ATF Adjunct Instructor is anyone who is not an ATF employee and provides unpaid instructor services for ATF. Adjunct instructors may be anyone from another,
Federal, State or local government agency, the military, educational institution, trade organization, or a subject matter expert (SME) who is not being compensated through
contract. Note that the reimbursement of travel expenses to persons who do not meet the definition above will be considered contract instructors and should not
complete this form (see exception in the note section below). All persons interested in becoming an ATF Adjunct Instructor must complete this form in its entirety, to include
the Hold Harmless Agreement on Page 6. The instructor candidate must forward the properly completed form and Hold Harmless Agreement via email through two (2)
levels of ATF supervisory approval from supervisors within the ATF program office responsible for the training. The two-levels of approval that will be accepted must consist
of a Branch and Division Chief; an Area Supervisor and Director of Industry Operations; a Group Supervisor and Assistant Special Agent in Charge; or any ATF employee
temporarily and formally named to serve in one of these titled positions. Adjunct instructor candidates may not (1) be prohibited from the receipt, possession, or transportation of firearms, explosives, or ammunition; or (2) have failed any course that the candidate will or is being considered to instruct.
ATF supervisors approving the instructor candidate’s use in ATF training programs are responsible for (1) verifying the candidate has properly completed this form, (2)
determining that all eligibility requirements are met, and (3) ensuring the candidate possesses all subject matter expertise (SME) and instructional skills required. After two
levels of supervisory approval are received, the second-level supervisor must email the completed form to the ATF Instructor mailbox in Outlook for final review by the ATF
Human Resources and Professional Development, Leadership and Professional Development Division and entry into the Justice Talent Management System (JTMS)
instructor database. The email’s subject line should include the candidate’s last name. The candidate may not be used in ATF training programs until the
candidate is entered into JTMS instructor database and such entry has been communicated. Any questions relative to the completion of this form should also be submitted to
the ATF Instructor mailbox in Outlook.
EXCEPTIONS: Contract instructors are not to complete this form unless the instructor services are being provided through a company, corporate, or organizational
contract, or a small purchase order that does not specifically identify the names or subject matter expertise of the instructors to be used. On these occasions, a copy of the
contract or small purchase order should be attached to this form.
