Do you need to send the assignment sheet to the ATF when applying for a tax stamp?

The assignment sheet is used to trasnfer title 1 firearms that the settlor owns into the gun trust and it is also used to add title 2 firearms into the gun trust after the tax stamp for the firearm is approved and the settlor has taken possession of the firearm.  The assignment sheet isn't considered to be a part of the delcaration of trust like a schedule a would be. With the assignment sheets, you aren't required to send them to the ATF when you apply for your tax stamps.  This helps keep any title 1 firearms that you have trasnferred into the gun trust private.
