ATF claims Administrative Procedures Act exemption for proposed ammo ban notice

Per Denise Brown of ATF Enforcement Programs and Services in this afternoon’s telephone conversation, this will “not actually be a [regulatory] change, more of a policy along those lines.” Brown said the framework document is a notice only, and will therefore not be published in the Federal Register, characterizing the document’s intent as “information gathering” in order to collect technical information, which could affect the Bureau’s final determination.

This den of vermin is law unto itself, yet the CONgress does nothing to rein it in.

Thanks for finding out about this, David. I'd been searching the FR in vain for the notice. Isn't it just like the Feds to claim an exemption from public notice requirements for a "minor" reg change? Life in the USA resembles less and less what I recall from my youth and more and more like some post-Soviet nightmare. Will we all be getting in line for our "real ID" (internal passport)soon?
