NSSF® recently received the following notification from ATF:

ATF ruling 2022-1, signed August 17, 2022, authorizes FFLs to retain an electronic version of each ATF Form 4473 created pursuant to ATF Ruling 2016-2 (or subsequent ruling), instead of the paper format, provided the conditions set forth in this ruling are met. Additionally, ATF authorizes digital scanning and electronic retention of paper ATF Form 4473 more than 3 years old, provided the conditions set forth in this ruling are met. This ruling clarifies that FFLs who use an e-Form 4473, instead of the paper format, may retain the form electronically. The Ruling will be posted on ATF.gov today. Any questions should be sent to FIPB@atf.gov.
