Abstract
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is amending the regulations in 27 CFR Part 53 to simplify the regulations relating to exemption certificates. The regulations are being revised to give taxpayers the option of using a preprinted document for use as exemption certificates and vendor(vendee) statements or designing their own certificates and statements using specified information. The temporary rule will remain in effect until superseded by final regulations. These amendments are part of the Administration's Reinventing Government effort to reduce burden and streamline requirements. In the proposed rules section of this Federal Register, ATF is also issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking inviting comments on the temporary rule for a 90-day period following the publication date of this temporary rule.
