Got my F1 approved but I don’t see the CLEO section present.  Now there is one  present in the submittal form.    

Do we still have send these to the CLEO agency or did the requirement was removed?

The CLEO section would have been present on your copy of the submitted PDF.

That's because you were supposed to send it them upon submission

Supposed to send the section from the submitted form. I think is says within 10 days. In olden times, there would have been plenty of time between submission and approvals to get the CLEO form sent and then wait some more. Not so much any more.

Piggyback question


How do you notify?

Just pop a copy of your Form 1 in the mail?

Sig required?
Certified?
Tracking only?

I read that if you send it to your states AG office with tracking. That thats good enough, and the AG office usually shit cans the paperwork?

That's what most people do.
No tracking is needed.

My CLEO tells people they can email them if they prefer.
CLEO trashed the paper ones (but not the emails) and only replied to the emails.
We have a new CLEO now though, and I think he started keeping the paper ones too.

That's it.   Put form in envelope, put CLEO address on envelope, drop envelope in mail, my job is done.

Hopefully rule change will be finalized soon and the silly CLEO notification will be gone.

New follow on question

Just getting ready to send the notification. The pages marked

CLEO

Have all of my info on it. I read somewhere that its supposed to be redacted?

How do I proceed. Am I misunderstanding something?

The box with the firearm's serial number and the box with your social security number are redacted.  That's the only sensitive info that should be; the serial number so the CLEO cannot create a defacto registry of the gun to you and the SSN so that your identity can't be stolen by an office clerk.

Obviously the CLEO will need you info like your name and address.  The intended purpose of the CLEO notification is so that if the CLEO knows some reason you should be disqualified from having having the NFA item, they can contact the ATF to inform them.
