National Firearms Act Division (NFAD)

The National Firearms Act Division (NFA) is responsible for the administration of the National Firearms

Act, as amended, and regulations issued pursuant to the Act. It maintains the National Firearms

Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR), the central registry of all NFA firearms in the United States.

Abstract: In 2021, ATF’s Enforcement Programs and Services (EPS) Directorate Licensing systems was modernized with regard to where it is hosted and the database structure. That migration effort was just the beginning of the long-term plan to enhance the experience, interface, and systems that make up the licensing portfolio.

EPS is looking to explore the next possible step for the future by embracing a new mentality and approach towards our Information Technology (IT) systems capability set and functionality. To that end, EPS would like to see a capability statement for proposed production driven system that would be high on automation and allow for form processing in a Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) type platform.

These forms could eventually include applications relating to National Firearms Act (NFA) controlled weapons, applications for a Special Occupational Tax permit, applications for a Federal Firearms License

(FFL) or Federal Explosives License/Permit (FEL/P), applications to import firearms, and the submission of annual reports for the manufacture or exportation of firearms.

For the long-term vision, ATF is seeking a capability statement demonstration of how up to twelve (12) separate and dissimilar systems, that are all pieces of one puzzle, can be unified into one over-arching

CRM that sits on a Microsoft Structured Query Language (MS SQL) Server instance. Systems include:

a) National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) system

b) National Firearms Act Special Occupational Tax (NSOT) system

c) Annual Firearms Manufacturers and Exportation Report (AFMER) system

d) Automated Criminal History Check (ACHC) system

e) Federal Explosives License eZCheck systems (eForms-ITDS, eFroms-4473)

f) Federal Firearms License eZCheck system (FFL ezCheck)

g) Fingerprint Card Submission System Version 2 (FCSS Version 2, BioSP)

h) Firearms and Explosives Imports System (FEIS)

i) Federal Licensing System (FLS)

This CRM system would provide a top to bottom visibility for reporting, accountability, and transparency in multiple workflows for siloed workgroups, showing productivity management, form processing, and permit issuance.
