DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

[Docket No. 959; ATF O 1130.34]


Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 27 CFR Part 47, 
Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Implements of War

To: All Bureau Supervisors:

    1. Purpose. This order delegates the Director's authorities to 
subordinate ATF officials and prescribes the subordinate ATF officials 
with whom persons file documents which are not ATF forms.
    2. Background. Under current regulations, the Director has 
authority to take final action on matters relating to procedure and 
administration. The Bureau has determined that certain of these 
authorities should, in the interest of efficiency, be delegated to a 
lower organizational level.
    3. Cancellation. This ATF order cancels the portion referring to 
part 47 of ATF O 1130.4, Delegation Order--Delegation of Certain 
Authorities of the Director in 27 CFR parts 47, 178, and 179, dated 1/
15/97.
    4. Delegations. Under the authority vested in the Director, Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, by Treasury Department Order No. 120-
01 (formerly 221), dated June 6, 1972, and by 26 CFR 301.7701-9, this 
ATF order delegates certain authorities to take final action prescribed 
in 27 CFR part 47 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF order 
prescribes the subordinate officials with whom applications, notices, 
and reports required by 27 CFR part 47, which are not ATF forms, are 
filed. The attached table identifies the regulatory sections, 
authorities and documents to be filed, and the subordinate ATF 
officials. The authorities in the table may not be redelegated.
    5. Questions. If you have questions about this order, contact the 
Regulations Division at (202) 927-8210.

Bradley A. Buckles,
Director.
