SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
I. Abstract
The OAS Model Regulations and the Firearms Convention require the
government of importing States to issue an Import Certificate to the
importer of firearms and the government of exporting States to issue
licenses for the firearms.
This rule imposes two information collection requirements. The
first requirement is the import certificate as support documentation
for exports destined to Convention Signatories. The second requirement
is the imposition of a licensing requirement for Firearms Convention
items destined to Canada, a Convention Signatory. Previously, such
items were exported to Canada without a license.
II. Method of Collection
Written notification and recordkeeping.
