SIGNATURE – Under the authority of Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 (Brady Act), 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, as implemented by 28 C.F.R.
Part 25, the FBI requires completion of this acknowledgment by all FFLs as a condition of being granted NICS inquiry privileges. The NICS has been
established within the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division for the purpose of performing instant background checks on
prospective firearm transferees. The primary purpose of this acknowledgment is to ensure that FFLs accessing and using the NICS understand and accept
the attendant obligations and responsibilities. This acknowledgment will be used to identify and validate those FFLs who may be granted NICS inquiry
privileges to legally obligate the FFL to comply with these obligations and responsibilities and as evidence of an FFL’s knowledge and acceptance of these
obligations and responsibilities whenever such matters may be in issue. Completion of this acknowledgment by an FFL is voluntary but an FFL who does
not complete this acknowledgment will not be able to make a NICS inquiry. It is a criminal violation of federal law for an FFL to transfer a firearm to a
non-FFL without making a NICS inquiry.

response. To submit comments regarding the accuracy of the estimates, to provide suggestions for making this form simpler, or to enroll by providing this
form, you can submit it to the NICS Section by fax at (888) 550-6427, by e-mail to , or by mail to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, NICS Section, P.O. Box 4278, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26302-4278.
Privacy Act Statement: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, we are providing the following information regarding this collection of
information. The authority under which this information is being collected is the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 (Public Law 103-159)
and 28 CFR Part 25. The principal purposes for which the information will be used are to enroll an FFL into the NICS, log a user onto the FBI NICS
E-Check, and identify FFLs that submit NICS checks. The information collected may be shared with other government agencies for authorized purposes
and with certain other persons and entities for other purposes as provided for in the most recently published routine uses for the NICS (Justice/FBI-018).
