I heard that there are some AFT changes coming in the next few months affecting the filing of form 1 or a form 3 or 4??  What are these changes?

I'm out of State for training and will not be returning home until the end of April.   Also, is there somebody or a business that can help me and/or supervise me, file via e-forms and trust for several SRBs around the first/second week of May AND have filed via e-forms themselves?

...Everything is based on the fact(s) that the laws for filing a form 1.  If not, I guess then I will have to go the forms 3 or 4 route.

Thanks!!

Form 1 SBR still isn't legal in wa yet...nor will it be until at least June. Here is a step by step process you can follow, should it become legal again...

linky

In July 41F goes into effect. After that, trusts have to submit photos / fingerprint cards for all trustees etc.

Thank you for the info... I guess if the Form one issue in WA is taken care of before July 13th, if so, I should be OK with a trust w/o the fingerprints and photos... If not, I guess I'll adjust to the new requirements.

Yep, that's the plan. It would be wise to submit whatever forms you'd like to submit the first day the WA law is in effect... Because the current version of the form 1 expires on 06/30/16. No one, AFAIK has explained what form will be used between 7/1 and 7/12...But I would NOT wait and find out. Get the guns and $ and plans ready between now and June and once that law goes into effect pounce like a starving mountain lion on a wounded deer.

It's overblown. So many people read a little bit about 41P, then never bothered to keep up to date with 41F. Yeah, it's another step and another $20 per trustee for the fingerprints and passport sized photo. But it also completely eliminates the CLEO signature requirement, so even if you don't use a trust you don't need the signature. I'd only do this if I were single and didn't give a damn what happened to my stuff after I died.

The link to the entire rule change. A VERY long read.

The summary,
This final rule defines the term "responsible person," as
used in reference to a trust, partnership, association, company, or corporation; requires
responsible persons of such trusts or legal entities to complete a specified form and to submit
photographs and fingerprints when the trust or legal entity files an application to make an NF A
firearm or is listed as the transferee on an application to transfer an NF A firearm; requires that a
copy of all applications to make or transfer a firearm, and the specified form for responsible
persons, as applicable, be forwarded to the chief law enforcement officer (CLEO) of the locality
in which the applicant/transferee or responsible person is located; and eliminates the requirement
for a certification signed by the CLEO. These provisions provide a public safety benefit as they
ensure that responsible persons undergo background checks. In addition, this final rule adds a
1
This final rule was signed by the Attorney General on January 4, 2016. It is effective 180 days
after date of publication in the Federal Register. The final rule published in the Federal Register
may differ slightly from this version as a result of Federal Register formatting.
new section to ATF' s regulations to address the possession and transfer of firearms registered to
a decedent. The new section clarifies that the executor, administrator, personal representative, or
other person authorized under State law to dispose of property in an estate may possess a firearm
registered to a decedent during the term of probate without such possession being treated as a
"transfer" under the NF A. It also specifies that the transfer of the firearm to any beneficiary of
the estate may be made on a tax-exempt basis.

We didn't need passport photos, fingerprint cards, or CLEO sigs/notification before...and now we do, and this change is good? Yeah, not so much.

The only good thing about 41F is that they dropped the requirement that we notify ATF when we change responsible persons... but they'll fix that as soon as they realize that it completely negates a great deal of their "trust busting" scheme.

Thanks to 41P/41F: NO CLEO SIGNATURE FOR ANYTHING ANYMORE, after June.


 







Just 'notification', like a C&R (eg, mail a copy of the forms to the Sheriff's Dept)

Where 41P started and 41F ended is indeed a good thing, as long as you keep things in perspective. We were about to be saddled with all the new requirements AND CLEO sign off. We'd be locked out entirely. Sure, it's incrementalism, but at least we got some lube this time.....,

I've never got a cleo sig for an NFA item...or notified them either. Not seeing the benefit here...at all. Is there a state where trusts are banned? If not, we got nothing but screwed.

OK I feel retarded still asking this, but does this apply to Form 1s?
Will I be able to complete a Form 1 WITHOUT CLEO SIGNATURE?

Because our Pierce Co. Sheriff Pastor simply will not sign them, not even for his own deputies.

Thinking he meant cost of passport photos and fingerprints.  There are businesses setup that process TWIC and TSA pre-pass applications.

You can make your own passport photos and fingerprint cards at home.

There is currently no certifying agency that you must pass some test in order to take finger prints.  Just order the cards, and you'll be able to take them at home.

Passport Photos at home

Taking Fingerprint tips from FBI

A $7 ink pad can do a hundred sets of prints + .20 for a 4x6 photo printed at Walmart or Target.  

You can get free fingerprint cards from the ATF. Order them here

Yeah, just a wild guess as to the price. It can vary depending on where you get them done. There isn't any requirement to find someone to do them for you, but someone who is experienced in taking them can get them done quicker with much less chance of error.

Yes, 41F applies to form 1... After 07/13/16...So if filling an individual form 1 (as opposed to using a trust or Corp) without a Cleo Sig is your objective, you'll want to file after 41F is in effect.

You didn't have to before, either. There are many free trusts available online.

There is no net gain. We just have more regulations now.

In Washington a trust is the ONLY way to own NFA stuff, especially in the "everything is a transfer" regime we currently live under.
