Conforming Change for Approving a Making Application

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ("ATF") is amending Department of Justice ("Department") regulations to require that a National Instant Criminal Background Check System background check be performed as part of the approval process to make a National Firearms Act ("NFA") firearm. ATF already conducts such background checks as part of its processing and this amendment to the regulation simply ensures that the regulations addressing NFA processes are consistent with the statutory requirements.
