Summary: The commenter, likely a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), supports the proposed rule allowing the use of the eZ Check system to verify licenses. They request that the rule be expanded to include Curios and Relics (C&R) licenses to streamline the transfer process and reduce reliance on physical copies.
Section III. Statutory and Executive Order Review; B. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563:
This final rule amends 27 CFR 478.94 to allow FFLs to use ATF's eZ Check system to verify another licensee's information prior to transferring a firearm, as an alternative to obtaining a certified copy of the transferee's license.
Assuming these FFLs use the eZ Check system instead of continuing to rely on certified copies, each FFL will save approximately $1 on paper and postage that would have been spent to obtain and send a certified copy of a license.
Is there consideration to allow this for validating C&R (03) licenses as well? Currently, we rely on the copy of the license and a call as it cannot be validated on EZ-Check physically. We handle quite a few C&R transfers.
As a transferer, it would be recommended to allow for C&R license’s to be checked on EZ Check.
