Title: Identification Markings Placed on Firearms
Abstract: ATF proposes to amend the regulations to prescribe minimum height and depth requirements for identification markings placed on firearms by licensed importers and licensed manufacturers. ATF believes that minimum standards are necessary to ensure that firearms are properly identified in accordance with the law. In addition, the proposed standards, if adopted, will facilitate ATF's ability to trace the origin of firearms used in crime.
