The Trump administration has finalized plans to shift authority over the export of certain firearms and ammunition from the State Department to the Commerce Department, part of a nearly decadelong effort to boost compliance, strengthen enforcement and protect U.S. technology.
Officials from the two departments on Tuesday notified several congressional committees of the final rule. Following a 30-day notification period, the final rule would take effect 45 days after publication in the Federal Register.
Under the rule change, the State Department would maintain control over the export of firearms and related items of a military character, or that provide military or intelligence benefits to the U.S., according to a department official.
Authority over the export of weapons that don’t meet those criteria—including those widely available in domestic retail settings—would shift to the Commerce Department.
Tuesday’s action follows a multiyear review by the departments of Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security, Justice and State, which received and incorporated comments from the public and other interested parties.
Regardless of the transfer of authority, controlled items will still be subject to government authorization and monitoring, they said.
