ATF Los Angeles Hosts Federal Firearms Licensee Seminar

Federal Firearms Licensees Are Invited to Attend this Seminar to Learn About the New Regulations and Multiple Reporting Requirements.

SAN DIEGO – Special Agent in Charge (SAC) John A. Torres of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearm and Explosives (ATF) invites all Federal Firearms Licensees, (FFL), to participate in the Federal Firearms Licensee Seminar on August 23, 2011. To assist its efforts in investigating and combating the illegal movement of firearms along and across the Southwest border, ATF is requiring licensed dealers and pawnbrokers in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas to submit record information concerning multiple sales of certain rifles. ATF has the authority to issue this letter to collect such record information from federal firearms licensees (FFLs) under 18 U.S.C. § 923(g)(5), and that authority has been delegated by ATF’s Acting Director to the Chief of the National Tracing Center. This seminar will aid FFL’s in answering questions related to the new reporting instructions.
