Comment on FR Doc # 2026-09161

RIN 1140-AA89 Comment in Strong Support of Interstate Transport and Temporary Export of National Firearms Act Firearms I am writing to express my enthusiastic support for the Bureau’s proposed rule to eliminate the temporary transport notification and approval requirement—specifically the ATF Form 5320.20—for short-term interstate travel lasting 365 days or fewer. As a law-abiding firearm owner, the current mandate to seek advance federal permission before traveling across state lines with legally registered short-barreled rifles (SBRs) or shotguns (SBSs) presents a severe administrative and logistical bottleneck. The processing times for Form 5320.20 often take weeks or months, completely preventing law-abiding citizens from participating in short-notice training courses, competitive shooting events, or family vacations out of state. Because these NFA items are already meticulously tracked in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR) and tied directly to the owner or their legal entity, the Form 20 process provides no tangible benefit to public safety or law enforcement tracing capabilities. It serves only as a redundant layer of paperwork that burdens both the taxpayer and the ATF's own processing staff. Removing this outdated requirement respects the rights of law-abiding owners who wish to travel freely with their legally possessed property, while allowing the ATF to reallocate valuable administrative resources toward critical safety functions. I strongly urge the Bureau to finalize and adopt this common-sense, burden-reducing reform as written without delay.
