Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: Department of Justice.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is publishing its spring 2018 
regulatory agenda pursuant to Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review,'' 58 FR 51735, and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 
5 U.S.C. 601 to 612 (1988).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Hinchman, Senior Counsel, 
Office of Legal Policy, Department of Justice, Room 4252, 950 
Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20530, (202) 514-8059.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the 
internet has been the basic means for disseminating the Unified Agenda. 
The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov 
in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain 
information from the Agenda database.
    Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the 
regulatory flexibility agendas required by the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 602), the Department of Justice's printed agenda entries 
include only:
    (1) Rules that are in the Agency's regulatory flexibility agenda, 
in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, because they are 
likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities; and
    (2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review 
under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain 
information required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act's Agenda 
requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in 
the Unified Agenda published on the internet.

    Dated: February 23, 2018.

Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Policy.

    Abstract: The Department of Justice anticipates issuing a Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would interpret the statutory 
definition of machinegun in the National Firearms Act of 1934 and Gun 
Control Act of 1968 to clarify whether certain devices, commonly known 
as bump-fire stocks, fall within that definition. Before doing so, the 
Department needed to gather information and comments from the public 
and industry regarding the scope of the market for these devices. This 
ANPRM was intended to gather relevant information that is otherwise not 
readily available to ATF regarding the scope and nature of the market 
for such bump-stock devices.
