** ATF Sets Tentative Dates To Finalize Proposed Rules
------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Federal Register ([link removed]) (see page 357), ATF has set tentative dates to finalize two proposed rules impacting gun owners.

The first, Definition of ‘‘Frame or Receiver’’ and Identification of Firearms is scheduled for publication in June 2022. If enacted as proposed, the primary objective of this rule is to establish broad regulations on homemade firearms and 80% receivers. As it pertains to suppressors, it will establish a new definition of a silencer frame or receiver and "complete muffler or silencer device".

The second new rule, Factoring Criteria for Firearms With an Attached Stabilizing Brace, is scheduled for publication in August 2022. If enacted as proposed, this rule will restrict firearms with pistol stabilizing braces and may reclassify many as NFA firearms.

ASA will keep you updated with developments and provide an update once the final rules and their effective dates have been published.

As many of you are aware, the new eForms system officially launched on December 23, 2021. The new eForms system, which includes Form 4's, is working and getting more stable by the day. According to ATF, over 50,000 forms (of all types) have been submitted so far.

ATF has stated that they will continue to focus resources on the considerable backlog of paper forms. Nonetheless, if you are going to buy a suppressor ASA strongly recommends that you submit all new transfers via eForms.

Two reminders:
1. If you have a pending paper application, do not pull it to resubmit via eForms. Your form will take longer to get approved and it will divert resources from processing applications.
2. If you absolutely must check the status of your pending Form 4 (paper or electronic), please call NFA Division at (304) 616-4500. Do not use the "Ask the Expert" function in eForms.
