From Griffin Armament's FB page:
Unofficial/secondhand: According to NFATCA at the recent SAR show, the ATF should be dropping the CLEO sign off individual form 4 transfer requirement in the coming year, but the local LEO's would still receive a copy of the form, so people who like their privacy may still benefit from use the trust or corporate transfers which will continue to be unreported AFAIK.
•NFATCA submitted a proposal to ATF several years ago to remove the CLEO signature requirement from NFA Forms
•Proposal was reviewed and massaged based upon ATF comments
•Proposal was reviewed and approved by ATF
•ATF submitted the formal request to DOJ
•DOJ reviewed and returned to ATF with requests for changes and clarifications
•ATF made changes and resubmitted to DOJ
•DOJ went through formalized review process
•DOJ *approved* request and returned to ATF
•ATF entered regulation formulation phase (writing the reg)
•Regulation phase completed
•Regulation submitted to OMB
•OMB initiates formal process for implementation
The formal process includes posting in the federal register, invitation for commentary, proposed new forms, etc. Count on anywhere from 90 to 270 days.
