Abstract
This Treasury decision amends the regulations governing the importation of firearms, ammunition, and implements of war. The changes implement the "Model Regulations for the Control of the International Movement of Firearms, Their Parts and Components, and Ammunition" which President Clinton directed the Secretaries of State, Commerce, and Treasury to implement after the second Summit of the Americas, in Santiago, Chile. The purpose of the Model Regulations is to provide standardized procedures for the international movement of firearms, their parts and components, and ammunition so as to prevent illegal trafficking in these articles. This final rule also makes technical and conforming amendments to certain sections of the regulations. In addition, this final rule revokes Rev. Rul. 69-309.
