New Portions of Regulations in Part 478 that are no longer effective after 9/13/04

ATF regulations are published as Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations (27 CFR) by the Government Printing Office.

Consult the official legal version of 27 CFR (updated April 1 of each year) and any more recent Treasury Decisions to learn the requirements that apply to you.

The e-CFR is an unofficial demonstration project by the Government Printing Office. It is updated frequently, and GPO encourages people to try it and comment on it, but to continue relying on the official legal version linked above.
