Realignment of Field Offices

TO: All Alcohol and Tobacco Permittees, Taxpayers and Claimants, Federal Firearms and Explosives Licensees and Permittees, and Firearms and Ammunition Excise Taxpayers and Registrants

Effective October 1, 1998, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is realigning its field offices. Historically, ATF has been organized under separate regulatory and criminal enforcement functions that operated under separate planning and implementing structures. By not encouraging a broad approach to deal with issues involving ATF's criminal, regulatory and tax responsibilities, the division along regulatory and criminal lines has hampered ATF's ability to use all its authorities for maximum benefit.

In 1997, ATF began addressing these problems by unifying regulatory and criminal enforcement activities at the Headquarters level. A team approach was developed to combine programs and manage operations. This approach will be extended to field offices nationwide.

As of October 1, 1998, the five (5) regulatory district offices will be merged with the 23 criminal enforcement division offices. The merging of these offices creates new, unified structures in 23 locations. Each field division will be headed by a Division Director/Special Agent in Charge (DD/SAC), who will report directly to Headquarters and have overall responsibility for the combined operations in each geographic area. Reporting to each DD/SAC will be one or more Assistant Special Agents in Charge (ASAC), who will have oversight of the criminal enforcement function; and a Director of Industry Operations (DIO), who will oversee industry and taxation operations. The ASAC will provide secondary supervision to field agents, and the DIO will provide secondary supervision to field inspectors.

The DIO will replace the existing District Director and Assistant District Director positions. The primary focus of the DIO will be to ensure that industry operations and tax collection activities are carried out in the most efficient and effective manner, and to resolve issues at the local level. To facilitate decision making, authority for administrative regulatory activities now residing at the District Director level will be transferred to the DIO. Examples of these administrative actions include offers-in compromise, permit suspensions and revocations, firearms and explosives denials and revocations, and tax assessments.

Included with this Industry Circular is a listing of all ATF field offices, including the names of the DD/SAC, DIO and ASAC, the address, telephone number and fax number for each office.
