As I noted on September 8, the ATF is screwing up commenting on the “engaged in the business” Notice of Proposed Rule-Making.
In short, as dockets changed and vanished in a period of minutes, I found it desirable to comment six times; three times on behalf of TZP, and three times for myself personally.
Regulations.gov is now posting comments, so I checked the status of our comments. It ain’t pretty. I’m documenting the results so I have a public record of what is happening.
TZP Comment Tracking Numbers (in order submitted)

- lma-p4g9-5an6 posted
One lost, submitted after first that’s there, and before the other that’s there.
Personal Comment Tracking Numbers (in order submitted)
- lma-m7xn-uqi0 (not found)
- lma-nseu-zlmo (not found)
- lma-p5qv-j9z4 (not found)
NONE of my personal comments can be found. Note that all were submitted after the first TZP comment appearing, and two before the third TZP comment that appears. My third comment was posted last. I see other people’s comment appearing that were submitted
days after mine. I have email confirmation that my comments were received (for two; I forgot to enter my email address for one).
I have now submitted a fourth attempt at commenting; Comment Tracking Number: lmg-ih6a-k2ww. I’m still waiting for the email confirmation.
Please let us know in comments below if you are also having difficulty commenting on the NPRM.
