In March 2018, Congress passed the Fix NICS Act, Pub. L. 115-141, tit. VI, which aims to improve the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), to include requiring the Attorney General, in coordination with each State, to establish an implementation plan. The plan is intended to “ensure maximum coordination and automation of the reporting or making available appropriate records to the [NICS]… and the verification of the accuracy of those records during a 4-year period specified in the plan.” In addition, the Act requires that each plan establish annual benchmarks to enable the Attorney General to assess the implementation of each plan. These benchmarks include qualitative goals, quantitative measures, and a needs assessment with estimated compliance costs. This request is to collect information to aid in the identification and development of these key areas, and to satisfy the requirements of the implementation plan.
