Chapter 44. He has delegated that
responsibility to the Director of ATF,
subject to the direction of the Attorney
General and the Deputy Attorney
General. 28 CFR 0.130(a). ATF has
promulgated regulations that implement
the provisions of the GCA in 27 CFR
part 478.
Section 922(g) of the GCA prohibits
certain persons from shipping or
transporting any firearm in interstate or
foreign commerce, or receiving any
firearm which has been shipped or
transported in interstate or foreign
commerce, or possessing any firearm in
or affecting commerce. These
prohibitions apply to any person who—
(1) Has been convicted in any court of
a crime punishable by imprisonment for
a term exceeding one year;
(2) Is a fugitive from justice;
(3) Is an unlawful user of or addicted
to any controlled substance;
(4) Has been adjudicated as a mental
defective or committed to a mental
institution;
(5) Is an alien illegally or unlawfully
in the United States; or with certain
exceptions, aliens admitted to the
United States under a nonimmigrant

partner or child of such intimate

a misdemeanor crime of domestic
violence.
The term ‘‘person’’ is defined in
section 921(a)(1) as including ‘‘any
individual, corporation, company,
association, firm, partnership, society,
or joint stock company.’’ Section 925(c)
of the GCA provides that a person who
is prohibited from possessing, shipping,
transporting, or receiving firearms or
ammunition may make application to
the Attorney General to remove the
firearms disability imposed under
section 922(g) ‘‘if it is established to his
satisfaction that the circumstances
regarding the disability, and the
applicant’s record and reputation, are
such that the applicant will not be likely
to act in a manner dangerous to public
safety and that the granting of the relief
would not be contrary to the public
interest.’’ The Attorney General has
delegated the authority to grant relief
from firearms disabilities to the Director
of ATF.

Section 925(c) further provides that
‘‘[w]henever the Attorney General grants
relief to any person pursuant to this
section he shall promptly publish in the
Federal Register notice of such action,
together with the reasons therefor.’’
Regulations implementing the
provisions of section 925(c) are set forth
in 27 CFR 478.144.
Since 1992, Congress has prohibited
ATF from expending appropriated
funds to investigate or act upon
applications for relief from federal
firearms disabilities. However, since
1993 Congress has authorized ATF to
expend appropriated funds to
investigate and act upon applications
filed by corporations for relief from
Federal firearms disabilities.
An application to ATF for relief from
Federal firearms disabilities under 18
U.S.C. 925(c) was submitted for Action.
In the matter under review, Action was
convicted in Federal court of crimes
punishable by imprisonment for a term
exceeding one year. Specifically, Action
was convicted on May 21, 2014, in the
United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, for
violations of 42 U.S.C. 6928(d)(2) and 49
U.S.C. 5124.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 925(c), on May
22, 2017, Action was granted relief by
ATF from the disabilities imposed by
Federal law, 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1), with
respect to the acquisition, receipt,
transfer, shipment, transportation, or
possession of firearms as a result of
these convictions. It has been
established to ATF’s satisfaction that the
circumstances regarding Action’s
disabilities and its record and
reputation are such that Action will not
be likely to act in a manner dangerous
to public safety, and that the granting of
the relief would not be contrary to the
public interest.
Date Approved: August 7, 2017.

The term ``person'' is defined in section 921(a)(1) as including

to the Attorney General to remove the firearms disability imposed under
section 922(g) ``if it is established to his satisfaction that the
circumstances regarding the disability, and the applicant's record and
reputation, are such that the applicant will not be likely to act in a
manner dangerous to public safety and that the granting of the relief
would not be contrary to the public interest.'' The Attorney General
has delegated the authority to grant relief from firearms disabilities
to the Director of ATF.
Section 925(c) further provides that ``[w]henever the Attorney
General grants relief to any person pursuant to this section he shall
promptly publish in the Federal Register notice of such action,
together with the reasons therefor.'' Regulations implementing the
provisions of section 925(c) are set forth in 27 CFR 478.144.
