I believe it is a Notice of Proposed Rule Making(NPRM). By mandate they must read and respond to every comment recieved by those with concern. I understand over 9000 to date. Time and resources have continued to push the proposed decision date back.

If the new ATF regulations do go into force in December, maybe the AG could set up an automated online process for requesting signoff. I'd even be happy to pay a small fee for each signoff so they can recoup the cost of setting up and running the system.

What does this sign off accomplish, other than satisfy an arbitrary regulatory requirement? I'm still wondering what would be lost if no sign off is required. It seems the CLEO signs or doesn't sign at their discretion, no formal guidelines are followed.

The goverment (President) believes the trust route has loopholes in it so he wants that shut down as well as using the ATF powers to futher gun control thru actions like as well as by restricting ammo(Green tip)

I will never understand why anyone would go the individual route and not do a NFA trust.

Using NFA trusts will also require CLEO signoff in the near future (recently postponed until December, but implementation of this new rule may very well be delayed again).

I did a trust but was refering to the potential required CLEO sign off even with a trust.
I was glad to hear about the postponment but would have liked to have seen this bill pass this session just in case it is not postponed again and ruled in favor of a CLEO sign off

Where does NFA CLEO must sign stand??
