Abstract: Licensed manufacturers, importers, dealers, and
collectors are required to create and maintain disposition records on
armor-piercing ammunition. These records are used primarily for law
enforcement purposes and may be used to trace ammunition collected as
evidence during a criminal investigation or court presentation. The
records are required by 18 U.S.C. 922 and are necessary to support
ATF's mission to enforce the Gun Control Act, particularly tracing
ammunition used in crimes. Information Collection (IC) OMB # 1140-0066
is being revised to change the title of the ICR to reflect that the
record-keeping requirement applies to licensed manufacturers,
importers, dealers, and collectors.
