The violations cited and issued, in particular, 478.126a would require a recommendation of: Violation, WC with WL and Recall Inspection , as prescribed in ATF O 5370.1B - Federal Firearms Administrative Action Policy and Procedures. The investigation revealed that the licensee did not realize that the ATF F 3310.4 – Report of Multiple Sales once completed required to be dispatched to ATF/National Tracing Center and the local Police Department. The Licensee had in fact completed redacted of the missing redacted ATF F 3310.4 but retained them in his files. Based on the fact that this is the Licensee's first compliance inspection since the issuance of the FFL in October 1, 2014, IOI redacted is proposing the above noted reduced recommendation for consideration. IOI redacted determined through the interview and observation of the business that the discrepancies disclosed were human error and/or misunderstanding of the Federal firearms recordkeeping requirements and statutory obligations, and not willful neglect or disregard thereof.
A Disposition Emphasis (DE) Dealer Firearms Compliance Investigation conducted on on the above referenced licensee, concurrent with an Amended Application under UI: 764035-2016-0097-B1B disclosed six violations of the Gun Control Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. The disclosed violations will require the Issuance of an ATF Form 5030.5 - Report of Violations. Violations 27 CFR 478.126a redacted instances licensee failed to submit an ATF Form 3310.4 - Report of Multiple Sales or Other Disposition of Pistols and Revolvers) and 27 CFR 478.129(b) redacted instances licensee failed to retain an ATF Form 4473 - Firearms Transaction Record, after a NICS was initiated, and no transfer was completed) will require the scheduling of a Warning Conference and Issuance of a Warning Letter and Recall Investigation. IOI redacted recommends an alternate recommendation of Violations, Warning Letter and No Recall. This recommendation is appropriate and adequate due to the circumstances in which licensee failed to meet reporting requirements under the GCA. Licensee misunderstood reporting and retaining requirements. Licensee has been refered to, discussed and reviewed applicable regulations and acknowledges future compliance. Therefore, an alternate recommend of a Warning Letter is recommended in addition of issuance of ATF Form 5030.5 - Report of Violation, to emphasize to licensee his responsibilities and legal obligations under the Gun Control Act (GCA) and to emphasize the Importance of maintaining records and reports as required under 27 CFR Part 478. The Federal Licensing System (FLS) - License Registration Report requires update as follow: 1) Last Investigation Date: June 20, 2016. Violations, Warning Letter and No Recall Investigation is recommended. Warning Letter sent via certified mail on July 14, 2016 .
Alter reviewing this assignment, I concur with the alternate recommendation of Warning Letter only instead of a Warning Conference. This was the licensee's first compliance inspection and he was fully educated on the regulations during this closing conference.
