We spoke with our contacts at ATF to get the latest news on their workflow amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Like all of us, the NFA Division is adapting to this paradigm shift in daily life and implementing solutions to limit delays. For a complete briefing, read our post here. A couple of items of note:
- Only submit 100% complete applications - including fingerprint cards. Incomplete applications will be held aside in favor of processing complete submissions.
- ATF is asking that you now wait 45 days (not 30) from the date of approval to call to obtain a certified copy of your approved transfer.
ASA believes these delays are excessive, unnecessary and the result of the ATF clinging to antiquated legacy systems to manage the NFA. The delays highlight why it is imperative that a functional eForm system is launched as soon as possible.
We encourage you to contact your legislators and ask them to support H.R. 6126 - The End the Normalized Delay on Suppressor Act. Placing a time cap on transfers is one way to require ATF to utilize technology to process transfers in a timely manner. |
