ATF proposes changes to notice and approval for transport of registered NFA firearms

ATF proposed easing its prior-notice and approval process for interstate transport of certain registered NFA firearms. Under the proposal, short-term domestic transport of 365 days or less would no longer require advance notice and approval; longer transport or permanent relocation would still require notice but not waiting for approval. The proposal does not itself change current requirements. Comments closed August 6, 2026.
