As the Federal Government shutdown drags on, with an unclear reopen date or timeframe, the ATF has stopped processing all NFA paperwork. The submitted ATF Form 1's, ATF eForm 1's, ATF Form 3's, ATF Form 4's, ATF Form 5's, ATF 5320.20's are not being approved, or being reviewed now.
If your eForm 1 is pending research this isn't an issue. You will need to wait for the ATF to email your submitted application which you should receive in 2 to 10 business days after their research is concluded.
"Only the individual who was actually present was subject to these requirements. This means that the other individuals who might act on behalf of the trust or legal entity were not subject to these requirements."
In summation, "Once an application has been approved, no documentation is required to be submitted to ATF when a new responsible person is added to a trust or legal entity."
However, the ATF won't be processing any pending stamps during the Federal Government shutdown. This means that ATF Form 1's, ATF eForm 1's and ATF Form 4's won't be processing. Applicants that are still in the pending status before the Federal Government shutdown will still be pending during the shutdown.
