        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to require that aliens purchasing firearms provide proof of residency through the use of substantiating documentation, such as utility bills or a lease agreement. In addition, the regulations are being amended to require that licensees examine a photo identification document from aliens purchasing firearms. These regulations implement firearms initiatives intended to protect the American public from gun violence.]]></ABSTRACT>
