ATF Updates - Prince Law Offices

ATF Updates from the 13 Annual Firearms Import/Export Conference | Prince Law Offices, P.C.

From the article:

eForms Updates

1. As we all already know, eForm 1s are back online.
2. eForm 2s should be back online shortly, hopefully by the end of the year or early next year.
3. eForm 3 and 4s will be next to go live, on the new site that they’re developing. See, Attorney Tom Odom’s blog on this here.
4. They still cannot update the website to reflect the one additional (not listed) requirement for the eForms password, so remember that your eForms password must have 5 alpha character.

And also this on ATF -41P:

ATF-41P

1. ATF Counsel Andrew Lang stated that ATF is currently on track to make a decision by January 2015; however, he acknowledged that many of the Comments filed by attorneys raised some issues that ATF hadn’t considered. He stated that the rulemaking may get significantly sidetracked internally, depending on internal responses to their review of the Comments and proposals on how to address the concerns. In response to a question on why ATF didn’t provide the underlying materials used for drafting the proposed rule, Attorney Lang, in addition to saying the petition was posted by the NFATCA at some point in time on its website, said ATF hasn’t had requests for such material in the past (aka, ATF hasn’t been complying with the Administrative Procedures Act and therefore, it didn’t need to with ATF-41P…well, maybe now that we made an issue out of it, there will be a change in course in future ATF rulemaking.)

The part about atf-41p, kinda translates to"We are the govt' and do need no stinkin' rules".

The thing to remember about 41P is iF it goes through a lawsuit will be filed immediately which will then suspend 41P while it makes its way through the legal system. It will be a long time before 41P even has a chance to change the way we buy nfa firearms. Ive yet to get a response to my comment which was not a form letter and raised some IMO good points about how to fingerprint and passport photo my infant son and 3 year old son. How often would they require updated pictures for them? If a lawsuit is filed I'm sure their lack of compliance with the APA will come up as well.

Why would the filing of a lawsuit immediately suspend the rule?

 

[SC-Texas]

It doesn't unless you get a court to uphold the suspension and then a ct of Ppeals to upheld it

 

[35Remington]

That's precisely my understanding. Filing a lawsuit will not affect implementation of the rule.
