ATF Adopts Invasive Inspection Questionnaire
ATF has recently adopted four new lengthy, highly invasive and potentially burdensome questionnaires as part of their magazine inspection process. The questionnaires contain a series of brand new criminal investigation-style questions designed to collect information presumably to enforce civil regulations. Besides the obvious civil liberty, privacy, authority, proprietary, and jurisdictional issues that immediately come to mind, a great number of man hours are required for employees and principals to complete the costly interrogation process.
ISEE is a member of a coalition of organizations currently looking into these procedures, questionnaires, and the so-called voluntary checklist that have been adopted with no input from the industry and without going through the formal regulatory change process. We have contacted OMB and the Inspector General's Office of the Justice Department and are looking into further action regardiing ATF's adoption of these new invasive requirements on our members. Based on the content of these questions, ISEE suggests that companies consult an attorney to review these questionnaires.
If you have encountered the use of these questionnaires by ATF inspectors, please take the time to email Jeff Dean ISEE at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to let us know about your experience.
