Abstract
This final rule implements the provisions of Public Law 103- 159, including the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. These regulations implement the law by imposing a waiting period of 5 days before a licensed firearms importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer may transfer a handgun (other than the return of a handgun to the person from whom it was received) to a nonlicensed individual. Regulations are also prescribed with regard to reporting requirements for multiple handgun sales, labeling of packages containing a firearm, theft of firearms from firearms licensees, and increased license fees for dealers in firearms. Unless otherwise indicated, the temporary regulations published in the Federal Register on February 14, 1994 (T.D. ATF-354), are made permanent upon the effective date of this final rule.
