DOJ/FBI RIN: 1110-AA07 Publication ID: Fall 2001 
Title: ●National Instant Criminal Background Check System 
Abstract: The Department promulgated regulations to govern the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) in 1998 when the NICS became operational. On January 22, 2001, the Department published amendments to the original regulations, which became effective on July 3, 2001. In this proposed rule, DOJ is publishing, for public comment and further consideration, five proposals to make additional changes in the NICS regulations. The proposed changes balance the legitimate privacy interests of law-abiding firearms purchasers and the Department's obligation to enforce the Brady Act and the Gun Control Act to prevent prohibited persons from purchasing firearms.
