1140-AA44 202304 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1140 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ATF 1100 Department of Justice DOJ Residency Requirements for Noncitizens Acquiring Firearms

The final rule would adopt, with minor revisions, the final rule published on June 7, 2012, which removed the 90-day State residency requirement for noncitizens lawfully present in the United States to purchase or acquire a firearm. In 2011, the Department of Justice determined that the Gun Control Act does not permit ATF to impose a regulatory requirement that noncitizens lawfully present in the United States are subject to a 90-day State residency requirement when such a requirement is not applicable to U.S. citizens.
