IOI redacted issued Heritage Tool & Die Inc. a Report of Violations for five (5) violations, three (3) of which, were repeat violations. As a result of this inspection, the licensee was found to have an 11.8% error rate redacted errors) in A&D record acquisition entries and a 19% error rate (redacted errors) in the A&D disposition entries. However, redactedt A&D record errors were found to have occurred outside of the inspection period. Had the previous inspection address the redacted A&D record errors, the licensee would have been found to have a 5.9% redacted errors) in the A&D record acquisition entries. The remaining 2 repeat violations, which are related to the ATF Form 4473 , show the licensee had statistically improved since its last inspection. During a previous inspection, the licensee had a 120% error rate redacted errors) on properly completing ATF Forms 4473.

Based on the facts listed above combined with the totality of the Report of Violations, IOI redacted recommends Report of Violations, Warning Letter, and No Recall Inspection. To ensure continued compliance, IOI redacted recommends the licensee be inspected within the next five (5) years.
Concur with WL and recall inspection within 5 years. FFL has shown marked improvement since the last inspection.
