The Department of Justice (``Department'') is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on April 26, 2022, with an effective date of August 24, 2022. The final rule amended Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (``ATF'') regulations by removing and replacing the regulatory definitions of ``firearm frame or receiver'' and ``frame or receiver.'' The document also amended ATF's definitions of ``firearm'' and ``gunsmith'' to clarify the meaning of those terms, and to provide definitions of terms such as ``complete weapon,'' ``complete muffler or silencer device,'' ``multi-piece frame or receiver,'' ``privately made firearm,'' and ``readily'' for purposes of clarity given advancements in firearms technology. Additionally, the final rule amended ATF's regulations on marking and recordkeeping that are necessary to implement the new or amended definitions. This document makes some minor technical corrections to the final rule, which otherwise remains the same as previously published.

The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (``ATF'') to codify into regulation certain provisions of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999. This rule amends ATF's regulations to account for the existing statutory requirement that applicants for Federal firearms dealer licenses certify that secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place where firearms are sold under the license to nonlicensed individuals. This certification is already included in the Application for Federal Firearms License, ATF Form 7/7CR (``Form 7/7CR''). The regulation also requires applicants for manufacturer or importer licenses to complete the certification if the licensee will have premises where firearms are sold to nonlicensees. Moreover, the regulation requires that the secure gun storage or safety devices be compatible with the firearms offered for sale by the licensee. Finally, it conforms the regulatory definitions of certain terms to the statutory language, including the definition of ``antique firearm,'' which is amended to include certain modern muzzle loading firearms.
