Bill > HR3373

This bill establishes the Federal Interstate Firearm Parts Reporting System (FIFPRS), which requires entities shipping certain firearm components (specifically barrels, slides, or bolt carriers) across state or international borders to register each shipment with the Attorney General. Entities must submit detailed information about the shipment within 5 business days before transportation, including sender and recipient contact details, shipping method, and a manifest of items. Shipping must be done via registered or certified mail with a required recipient signature. After delivery, shippers must confirm the shipment details to the Attorney General within 5 business days. The bill provides a "safe harbor" provision allowing retroactive registration in some cases, but repeated failures to comply could result in prohibition of this option. The Attorney General will maintain a confidential database of these registrations, accessible only to law enforcement, prosecutors, and authorized federal agencies. Violations of the registration requirements can result in fines and imprisonment, with more severe penalties for shipping 50 or more components in a single transaction. The system aims to help law enforcement track the movement of critical firearm parts across state lines, with the law taking effect 120 days after enactment.
