Abstract: The Department of Justice plans to propose amendments to title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 25 to promote public safety, to enhance the efficiency of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) operations, and to resolve difficulties created by unforeseen processing conflicts within the system. The proposed amendments would address entities authorized to receive information in connection with the issuance of a firearm-related permit or license; (2) access to the FBI-maintained NICS Index to permit background checks for the purpose of returning firearms in the possession of a law enforcement or criminal justice agency; and (3) requirements for retention of records relating to denied transactions.
