Guidance Documents

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is committed to helping Federal firearms licensees (FFLs) successfully comply with firearms laws and regulations. Changes to Vermont Law, 13 Vermont Statutes Annotated (V.S.A.) § 4019, effective July 1, 2022, have generated questions from Vermont FFLs. This letter alerts Vermont FFLs to the recent changes in Vermont law and provides guidance to ensure Vermont FFLs remain in compliance.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) provides this open letter to the Federal firearms licensee (FFL) community to advise on the restrictions and parameters of 18 U.S.C. § 922(o), which generally prohibits the possession or transfer of machineguns imported or manufactured after May 19, 1986, with limited exceptions.

Many natural disasters occur with little or no warning. Whether or not advance notice is possible, the preservation of life is always paramount during any type of disaster. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) urges all persons to take steps to protect family and property by having a disaster preparedness plan in place  before any disaster occurs.

ATF has received requests from Federal explosives licensees and permittees (FEL/Ps) and State 
and local agencies conducting avalanche control/mitigation operations for variances to store 
explosive materials with detonators attached in remote avalanche control systems (RACS).
