Under these final rules, we will identify, on a prospective basis, individuals who receive Disability Insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (Act) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments under title XVI of the Act and who also meet certain other criteria, including an award of benefits based on a finding that the individual's mental impairment meets or medically equals the requirements of section 12.00 of the Listing of Impairments (Listings) and receipt of benefits through a representative payee. We will provide pertinent information about these individuals to the Attorney General on not less than a quarterly basis. As required by the NIAA, at the commencement of the adjudication process we will also notify individuals, both orally and in writing, of their possible Federal prohibition on possessing or receiving firearms, the consequences of such prohibition, the criminal penalties for violating the Gun Control Act, and the availability of relief from the prohibition on the receipt or possession of firearms imposed by Federal law. Finally, we also establish a program that permits individuals to request relief from the Federal firearms prohibitions based on our adjudication. These changes will allow us to fulfill responsibilities that we have under the NIAA. 81 FR 91702 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-12-19/2016-30407 2016-30407 fr19de16-10 RIN 0960-AH95 4191-02-P Docket No. SSA-2016-0011 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-12-19/2016-30407 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-19/html/2016-30407.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-19/pdf/2016-30407.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Freedom of Information Privacy Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements 14 p. 91702 91715 81 FR 91702 Title 20 Part 421 20 CFR Part 421 RIN 0960-AH95 Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007; Federal Register Vol. 81, Issue RULE 2016-30407 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 2017-01-18 2017-12-19 Docket No. SSA-2016-0011 4191-02-P 2016-30407 Final rules.
