1140-AB01 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1140 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ATF 1100 Department of Justice DOJ Revising Regulations Defining "Engaged in the Business" as a Dealer in Firearms

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is proposing to revise regulations implementing the engaged in the business definition from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA). Although Congress defined the term in BSCA, ATF expanded the definition in its implementing regulations, to define terms within the definition and to include examples as rebuttable presumptions. This rule proposes to remove those expansions. ATF has determined that the implemented definition has not shown the expected impact on federal firearms license applications, administrative licensing actions, civil forfeitures, or other anticipated effects.
