[top] Abstract: The Demand 2 Program requires Type 01 and Type 02 Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs) with 25 or more traces with a time to crime of three years or less in a calendar year, to submit an annual report followed by quarterly reports of used firearms acquired by the FFL. Due to the growing number of Type 07 (Manufacturer of Firearms) FFLs meeting Demand 2 criteria through dealing firearms-with many showing little to no manufacturing activity-and the potential that some FFLs may use a Type 08 (Importer of Firearms) license to deal in firearms and avoid the reporting requirement if Type 08 is not subjected to Demand 2, ATF is including Type 07 and Type 08 licensees within the Demand 2 Program. Information collection OMB # 1140-0024 is being revised to now include Type 07 and 08 FFLs as a population that is subject to the reporting requirements of the Demand 2 program. The Demand 2 program is an important tool to assist in identifying and investigating the diversion of firearms
