ACTION: Notice of request for public comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is soliciting public comment as to which, if any, of the regulations and programs which ATF administers may be improved or eliminated. This request is being made to assist ATF in implementing the President's February 21, 1995, regulatory reform initiative. DATES: Comments for inclusion in the first report to the President must be received on or before April 28, 1995. However, this review is an ongoing process and comments received after the due date will be considered. ADDRESSES: Send written comments to: Deputy Associate Director, Regulatory Enforcement Programs; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms; P.O. Box 50221, Washington, DC 20091-0221; Attn: Notice No. 809. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marjorie D. Ruhf, Regulatory Enforcement, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20226 (202-927-8230). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On February 21, 1995, President Clinton announced a regulatory reform initiative. This initiative included instructions to each agency to: (a) Conduct a page-by-page review of all regulations to identify those which are obsolete or burdensome and those whose goals could be better achieved through the private sector, self-regulation or state and local governments. This review will include cleanup of old rules, rules that focus on describing organizations and procedures and rules that simply repeat statutory language. Second, the review will resolve any conflicts or overlaps which are found with rules of other agencies. Finally, the review will focus on ways of clarifying or streamlining remaining regulations. (b) Review the statutes underlying agency regulations and programs and make recommendations for any necessary changes. (c) Review agency policy and administrative decisions from this new perspective. In cases where the agency's review discloses statutes, regulations or programs which should be revised or eliminated, the agency will, as soon as possible, suggest changes to the statutes or propose administrative changes to its regulations and programs. The President also called on agencies to form partnerships with people affected by regulations to insure that reform is guided by reality. ATF plans to send representatives to scheduled industry events in the next few months to advance these ideas. To further involve the public and regulated industries in this effort, ATF is also soliciting comments through this notice. The Bureau requests that comments be as specific as possible. If the person submitting a comment can cite a specific section of law or regulations, that information will help ATF to organize and analyze the responses. If the cite is not available, at least name the commodity (for instance, wine, cigarettes, ammunition, fireworks) and the activity (producing, labeling, importing) which the comment addresses. We encourage persons who wish to comment to start the process with outline suggestions within the 15-day comment period, with the understanding that more detailed proposals may be submitted later. Most changes which come about as a result of this initiative will be issued as proposed rules, so further opportunity to comment on specific changes will be afforded to interested persons. ATF will not recognize any submitted material as confidential and comments may be disclosed to the public. Any material which the person commenting considers to be confidential or inappropriate for disclosure to the public should not be included in the comments. The name of the person submitting a comment is not exempt from disclosure. Comments may be submitted by facsimile transmission (FAX) to (202) 927-8602, provided the comments: (1) are legible, (2) are 81/2'' x 11'' in size, (3) contain a written signature, and (4) are five pages or less in length. This limitation is necessary to assure reasonable access to the equipment. Comments sent by FAX in excess of five pages will not be accepted. Receipt of FAX transmittals will not be acknowledged. Facsimile transmitted comments will be treated as originals. Drafting Information. The author of this document is Marjorie D.
