After a long wait and even longer delays, the ATF is now receiving electronic submissions in addition to paper submissions,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nfalawyers.com\/form-1-e-filing-is-back\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"e-filing-form-1-applications-back\" title=\"Say Hello to Shorter Waits, E-Filing for Form 1 Applications is Back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to NFA Lawyers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After more than a two-year wait, the ATF has finally restored the use of the Form 1 for electronic submission&#8221; they report. &#8220;This development has raised the hopes of all manufacturing enthusiasts that some much-needed efficiency will start to improve processing times for tax stamps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wait times for these submissions have raised to as high as 12 months or more. With e-filing, wait times should drop, and if Form 4 applications are any indication, wait times might be cut in half.<\/p>\n<p>All of these delays have been in response to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/atf-on-41f-say-hello-to-the-new-gun-trust-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"e-filing-form-1-applications-back\" title=\"Say Hello to Shorter Waits, E-Filing for Form 1 Applications is Back\">regulation 41F<\/a>, which was enacted two years ago. This regulation affected Form 1 applications to manufacture NFA-regulated short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, suppressors and various other weapons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On July 13, 2016, the 41F regulation went into effect, which changed the application process for those applying for a tax stamp with a gun trust,&#8221; explains the NFA Lawyers. &#8220;Previously, if you had a gun trust, you could avoid having to supply the ATF with photos and fingerprints, as well as being able to avoid having the Chief Law Enforcement Officer sign off on your application.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Regulation] 41F did away with the [law enforcement] signoff requirement for all types of tax stamp applicants \u2013 individual route and trust route \u2013 but made the application process for individuals and trusts the same,&#8221; they explain. &#8220;Everyone has to submit fingerprints and photos for a Form 1 or Form 4 tax stamp. Due to the problems inherent in scanning in fingerprint cards and the necessary infrastructure costs that would incur, up until now, all Form 1s and Form 4s have been required in paper form.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One of the problems with paper forms is a lack of ink and paper. As many law enforcement agencies move to paperless records they simply lack the equipment to produce the previously required forms for ATF review.<\/p>\n<p>The ATF required two &#8220;old-fashioned&#8221; fingerprint cards with each submission. As a response, many dealers started stocking the equipment for customers, but that still limits people&#8217;s options.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/meme-nfa-foolish\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"e-filing-form-1-applications-back\" title=\"Say Hello to Shorter Waits, E-Filing for Form 1 Applications is Back\">Meme Perfectly Sums Up How Foolish the NFA Is<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The return of e-filing doesn&#8217;t remove the fingerprint requirement for individuals nor for trusts. However, it does promise faster turn-around times.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can all remember fondly a time when Form 1s and Form 4s were both eForms and approvals came back within 3 months,&#8221; said the NFA Lawyers. &#8220;It is unlikely that this new development will return us to those glory days, but it is a step in the right direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A truly momentous advance would be enabling fingerprint cards to be digitally scanned at the time they are taken,&#8221; they added. &#8220;Once that has been completed, we should start to see much better processing times for tax stamps.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Form 1 electronic submissions are back.
