Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007

AGENCY: Social Security Administration.

ACTION: Final rule; CRA Revocation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are removing from the Code of Federal Regulations the final 
rules, Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 
(NIAA), published on December 19, 2016. We are doing so because 
Congress passed, and the President signed, a joint resolution of 
disapproval of the final rules under the Congressional Review Act.

DATES: This rule removal is effective on May 18, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5, 2016, we published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (81 FR 27059) in 
which we proposed adding part 421 to our regulations to fulfill 
responsibilities that we have under the NIAA. On December 19, 2016, we 
published a final rule (81 FR 91702) for the Implementation of the NICS 
Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 (NIAA), which had an effective date 
of January 18, 2017.\1\ On February 2, 2017, the United States House of 
Representatives passed H.J. Res. 40, ``Providing for congressional 
disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule 
submitted by the Social Security Administration relating to 
Implementation of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 
(NIAA).''.\2\ On February 15, 2017, the United States Senate passed 
H.J. Res. 40 without amendment,\3\ and the President signed H.J. Res. 
40 into law on February 28, 2017.\4\ Under the terms of Public Law 115-
8, the final rules ``shall have no force or effect.'' As a result, we 
are removing them from the Code of Federal Regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Although the final rule had an effective date of January 18, 
2017, we delayed the compliance date of the rule until December 19, 
2017 (81 FR at 91720). Therefore, we did not report any records to 
the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) 
pursuant to the final rule.
    \2\ 163 Cong. Rec. H916 (daily ed. Feb. 2, 2017).
    \3\ 163 Cong. Rec. S1169 (daily ed. Feb. 15, 2017).
    \4\ Public Law 115-8, 131 Stat. 15.
