Who all qualifies as CLEO

[thatguybythebay]

Is there a list or reference sheet of who qualifies as a CLEO? Can US Marshals sign?

My guess, FWIW, is no to your US Marshal friend :-(

: What law enforcement officials’ certifications on an application to transfer or make an NFA weapon are acceptable to ATF?

As provided by regulations, certifications by the local chief of police, sheriff of the county, head of the State police, or State or local district attorney or prosecutor are acceptable. The regulations also provide that certifications of other officials are appropriate if found in a particular case to be acceptable to the Director. Examples of other officials who have been accepted in specific situations include State attorneys general and judges of State courts having authority to conduct jury trials in felony cases.[27 CFR 479.63 and 479.85]

According to this NFA CLEO sign-off - AR15.COM

Steve McCraw, head of DPS will sign.

Outside of this thread though I have found no sources on this. I hate that we have to search and search to try and find some way to exercise our rights.

Anyone know if this is good info?

Big time zombie thread but it fits here so I'll ask. I'm getting ready to file a Form 1 for an SBR. For the CLEO notification on my form 4 (recent suppressor purchase) I noticed that the CLEO notification was going to Texas Department of Public Safety, Steven McCraw (director). Can the same be done on my Form 1?

County sheriff's

 

[Kayt00]

County sheriff's

Okay, so why was the directer of TXDPS being notified on the form 4?

Back in the day an NFA required an "approval" now it's only a notification....

Why the DPS Director? I don't know our Sheriff always signed mine......

Guess I need to ask the guys at Mister Guns tomorrow.

Always the county sheriff's. Anyone else is a wast of time.
