VerDate Mar<15>2010
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Jkt 232001
This final rule makes
technical amendments and corrects
typographical errors in ATF regulations
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR). Many of the technical changes
are being made to reflect changes in
nomenclature resulting from the transfer
of ATF to the Department of Justice
from the Department of the Treasury
pursuant to the Homeland Security Act
of 2002. The changes are designed to
provide clarity and enhance uniformity
throughout these regulations.
DATES: This rule is effective August 11,
2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Shermaine Kenner, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, Enforcement Programs and
Services, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives, U.S.

toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives (ATF)
administers regulations published in
title 27, chapter II, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). ATF identified
several technical amendments that are
needed to provide clarity and
uniformity to 27 CFR regulations.
Rather than make substantive changes
to the regulations, these amendments
generally focus on improving the clarity
and accuracy of title 27, chapter II.
Many of the technical changes reflect
changes in nomenclature resulting from
the transfer of ATF to the Department of
Justice from the Department of the
Treasury pursuant to the Homeland
Security Act of 2002. In addition, some
changes are being made to reflect
changes in the assignment of
responsibility within ATF.

of U.S. Customs and Border Protection,
any commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer of the Coast Guard, or any agent
or other person authorized by law to
perform the duties of a customs officer’’,
to reflect the current name of the
Customs Service and that it is no longer
under the Department of the Treasury:

The following sections are being
amended to remove extra spaces:

555.123(a)(4), 555.124(a)(4),
555.125(b)(1)(iv), 555.142, 555.201.
With the elimination of the position of
regional director (compliance), the
duties enumerated in these sections are
being assigned to the Director, Industry
Operations.
The following sections are being
amended to replace ‘‘regional director
(compliance)’’ with the correct title,
‘‘Chief, National Firearms Act Branch’’:
§§ 479.37, 479.38, 479.46, 479.47,
479.50, 479.172. With the elimination of
the position of regional director
(compliance), the duties enumerated in
these sections are being assigned to the
Chief, National Firearms Act Branch.
Section 479.34 is being amended to

an obsolete edition of a form.

delete duplicative words ‘‘of the’’ in the

How This Document Complies With the
Federal Administrative Requirements
for Rulemaking
A. Executive Order 12866 and Executive
Order 13563
This rule has been drafted and
reviewed in accordance with Executive
Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and
Review,’’ section 1(b), The Principles of
Regulation, and Executive Order 13563,
‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review,’’ section 1, General Principles
of Regulation. This rule is limited to
agency organization, management, or
personnel matters as described by
Executive Order 12866, section 3(d)(3)
and, therefore, is not a ‘‘regulation’’ or
‘‘rule’’ as defined by that Executive
Order.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule will not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the Federal
Government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, in
accordance with section 6 of Executive
Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism,’’ the
Attorney General has determined that
this regulation does not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement.

Jkt 232001

C. Executive Order 12988
This regulation meets the applicable
standards set forth in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, ‘‘Civil
Justice Reform.’’
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. Therefore, no actions were
deemed necessary under the provisions
of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1535.
D. Administrative Procedure Act
The revisions to the regulations in
this final rule are purely matters of
agency organization, procedure, and
practice that will not affect individual
rights and obligations. As such, this rule
is exempt from the usual requirements
of prior notice and comment and a 30day delay in the effective date. See 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(2), (b)(3)(A), and (d)(3).
Moreover, the Department finds good
cause for exempting the rule from those
requirements. Because this final rule
makes technical corrections to improve
the clarity of the regulations, the
Department finds it unnecessary to
publish this rule for public notice and
comment. Similarly, because delaying
the effective date of this rule would
serve no purpose, the Department also
finds good cause to make this rule
effective upon publication.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Attorney General, in accordance
with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5
U.S.C. 605(b), has reviewed this rule
and, by approving it, certifies that it will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because it pertains to personnel and
administrative matters affecting the
Department. Further, a Regulatory
Flexibility Analysis is not required for
this final rule because the Department
was not required to publish a general
notice of proposed rulemaking for this
matter.
F. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
This rule is not a major rule as
defined by section 251 of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C. 804. This
rule will not result in an annual effect
on the economy of $100 million or
more; a major increase in costs or prices;
or significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the
ability of United States-based
enterprises to compete with foreignbased enterprises in domestic and
export markets.
G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
This rule will not result in the
expenditure by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the
private sector, of $100 million or more
in any one year, and it will not

This final rule does not impose any
new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements under the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521.
I. Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency
organization, procedure, or practice, and
does not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of non-agency parties and,
accordingly, is not a ‘‘rule’’ as that term
is used by the Congressional Review Act
(Subtitle E of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996). See 5 U.S.C. 804(3). Therefore,
the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C.
801 does not apply.

Technical Amendments to Regulations
AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF),
Department of Justice.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule makes technical amendments and corrects
typographical errors in ATF regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR). Many of the technical changes are being made to
reflect changes in nomenclature resulting from the transfer of ATF to
the Department of Justice from the Department of the Treasury pursuant
to the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The changes are designed to
provide clarity and enhance uniformity throughout these regulations.
DATES: This rule is effective August 11, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shermaine Kenner, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, Enforcement Programs and Services, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives, U.S. Department of Justice, 99 New York
Avenue NE., Washington, DC 20226; telephone: (202) 648-7070 (this is
not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF)
administers regulations published in title 27, chapter II, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR). ATF identified several technical amendments
that are needed to provide clarity and uniformity to 27 CFR
regulations.
Rather than make substantive changes to the regulations, these
amendments generally focus on improving the clarity and accuracy of
title 27, chapter II. Many of the technical changes reflect changes in
nomenclature resulting from the transfer of ATF to the Department of
Justice from the Department of the Treasury pursuant to the Homeland
Security Act of 2002. In addition, some changes are being made to
reflect changes in the assignment of responsibility within ATF.
The following sections are being amended to reflect the current
name of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives in the
Department of Justice: Sec. Sec. 447.11, 447.32, 478.11, 478.76,
478.78, 479.11, 479.22, 555.78, 555.104, 646.143.
The following sections are being amended to reflect current contact
information for ATF's Distribution Center: Sec. Sec. 447.35, 447.58,
478.21, 478.103, 479.21, 555.21.
The following sections defining ``Customs Officer'' are being
amended to remove all references to the ``Customs Service'' and
``Secretary of the Treasury'' and replace with ``Any officer of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, any commissioned, warrant, or petty
officer of the Coast Guard, or any agent or other person authorized by
law to perform the duties of a customs officer'', to reflect the
current name of the Customs Service and that it is no longer under the
Department of the Treasury: Sec. Sec. 478.11, 479.11, 555.11.
The following sections are being amended to remove extra spaces:
Sec. Sec. 478.56, 478.76.
The following sections are being amended to reflect the correct
form numbers: Sec. Sec. 478.72, 478.73, 478.74, 478.126.
Section 478.76 is being amended to replace ``Assistant Chief
Counsel'' with the correct title, ``Chief Counsel''.
The following sections are being amended to replace ``regional
director (compliance)'' with the current title, ``Director, Industry
Operations'': Sec. Sec. 479.11, 479.26, 555.11, 555.22, 555.25,
555.49, 555.63, 555.71, 555.72, 555.73, 555.74, 555.75, 555.76, 555.78,
555.79, 555.80, 555.122(a)(4), 555.123(a)(4), 555.124(a)(4),
555.125(b)(1)(iv), 555.142, 555.201. With the elimination of the
position of regional director (compliance), the duties enumerated in
these sections are being assigned to the Director, Industry Operations.
The following sections are being amended to replace ``regional
director (compliance)'' with the correct title, ``Chief, National
Firearms Act Branch'': Sec. Sec. 479.37, 479.38, 479.46, 479.47,
479.50, 479.172. With the elimination of the position of regional
director (compliance), the duties enumerated in these sections are
being assigned to the Chief, National Firearms Act Branch.
Section 479.34 is being amended to remove ``(12-93 edition)'', a
reference to an obsolete edition of a form.
Section 479.37 is being amended to remove ``Center'' as the word
does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
Section 479.84 is being amended to replace ``regional director
(compliance)'' with the correct title, ``Special Agent in Charge''.
With the elimination of the
[[Page 46691]]
position of regional director (compliance), the duties enumerated in
this section are being assigned to the Special Agent in Charge.
The following sections are being amended to replace ``Chief,
Firearms and Explosives Licensing Center'' with the current title,
``Chief, Federal Explosives Licensing Center'': Sec. Sec. 555.45,
555.46, 555.49, 555.50, 555.54, 555.56, 555.57, 555.59, 555.60, 555.61,
555.104, 555.128.
The following sections are being amended to replace ``regional
director (compliance)'' with the correct title, ``Chief, Explosives
Industry Programs Branch'': Sec. Sec. 555.122(d), 555.123(e),
555.124(e), 555.125(b)(7). With the elimination of the position of
regional director (compliance), the duties enumerated in these
subsections are being assigned to the Chief, Explosives Industry
Programs Branch.
Section 555.126 is being amended to delete duplicative words ``of
the'' in the term ``identity of the of the holder''.
Section 555.141 is being amended to replace ``Public Safety
Branch'' with the current title ``Explosives Industry Programs
Branch''.
How This Document Complies With the Federal Administrative Requirements
for Rulemaking
A. Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563
This rule has been drafted and reviewed in accordance with
Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' section
1(b), The Principles of Regulation, and Executive Order 13563,
``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,'' section 1, General
Principles of Regulation. This rule is limited to agency organization,
management, or personnel matters as described by Executive Order 12866,
section 3(d)(3) and, therefore, is not a ``regulation'' or ``rule'' as
defined by that Executive Order.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with section 6
of Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism,'' the Attorney General has
determined that this regulation does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact
statement.
C. Executive Order 12988
This regulation meets the applicable standards set forth in
sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, ``Civil Justice
Reform.''
D. Administrative Procedure Act
The revisions to the regulations in this final rule are purely
matters of agency organization, procedure, and practice that will not
affect individual rights and obligations. As such, this rule is exempt
from the usual requirements of prior notice and comment and a 30-day
delay in the effective date. See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2), (b)(3)(A), and
(d)(3). Moreover, the Department finds good cause for exempting the
rule from those requirements. Because this final rule makes technical
corrections to improve the clarity of the regulations, the Department
finds it unnecessary to publish this rule for public notice and
comment. Similarly, because delaying the effective date of this rule
would serve no purpose, the Department also finds good cause to make
this rule effective upon publication.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Attorney General, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U.S.C. 605(b), has reviewed this rule and, by approving it,
certifies that it will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because it pertains to personnel
and administrative matters affecting the Department. Further, a
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is not required for this final rule
because the Department was not required to publish a general notice of
proposed rulemaking for this matter.
F. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996
This rule is not a major rule as defined by section 251 of the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5 U.S.C.
804. This rule will not result in an annual effect on the economy of
$100 million or more; a major increase in costs or prices; or
significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United States-based
enterprises to compete with foreign-based enterprises in domestic and
export markets.
G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and
tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100
million or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed
necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1535.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
This final rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping
requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521.
I. Congressional Review Act
This action pertains to agency organization, procedure, or
practice, and does not substantially affect the rights or obligations
of non-agency parties and, accordingly, is not a ``rule'' as that term
is used by the Congressional Review Act (Subtitle E of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996). See 5 U.S.C.
804(3). Therefore, the reporting requirement of 5 U.S.C. 801 does not
apply.
