Known by who?

There are ten examiners. AFAIK, Shipman is the only one to work from home sometimes. The rest are all at their desk five days a week, sometimes six (yes, forms do get approved on weekends).

As far as quotas:

Please remember that quotas cut both ways. Examiners work on Form 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's and 10's, plus 5320.20's, etc. They are assigned applications by the alphabet –– they do not just all grab off the same stack. Because this means that the workload changes with each incoming batch, they do sometimes share the workload.

If there were a quota system, you can be sure that Form 5's and 10's, fer instance, would get priority because they involve law enforcement.

And I sure wouldn't like to hear an examiner say, "I'm sorry, I can't process your Form 4 until next month –– I have met my quota for this month."

So no, to answer your question, there is no quota system.

There is a NFA Branch departmental goal set years ago to get all applications processed and approved/disapproved within 90 days. AFAIK, that 90-day goal is still in force, and does not include the time it takes for Atlanta to open the mail, deposit the fees and forward the forms to West Virginia.

HTH.

Wow, wish I had that few customers to please per day.
