ATF has been collecting Special Occupational Taxes (SOT) under the National Firearms Act (NFA) (Title 26, U.S.C. Chapter 53). Firearms dealers, manufacturers, and importers must pay this tax in order to conduct multiple transfers of specified weapons (such as machine guns) within the tax year. The Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140–0090 is being revised due to the removal of the previously corresponding ATF Forms 5630.5R and 5630.5RC. These forms will no longer be required going forward.

ATF announces cessation of its voluntary participation in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pilot test of the International Trade Data System (ITDS) for processing import and export-related ATF forms and data using the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set and the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). This notice concludes ATF participation in the pilot for the exportation requirements. While this notice announces the cessation of the pilot program, CBP has not yet announced the date that filing entries in ACE will be mandatory. The pilot test allowed participating exporters to submit ATF Form 9, Application and Permit for Permanent Exportation of Firearms (Form 9), and additional information to CBP electronically to obtain CBP certification of exportation. During the pilot, CBP validated that information and electronically transmitted export information to ATF to satisfy CBP’s certification requirements.
