These changes are deregulatory in nature and include streamlining the process for existing and certain new applicants to enable bringing power to the grid. Unnecessary regulations are being eliminated, and reporting and recordkeeping requirements are being changed. The NRC is proposing several other changes to clarify regulations that are confusing or ambiguous to make the overall licensing process more efficient.

American firearms manufacturers estimated that these regulatory restrictions would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars per year in lost sales. BIS, informed by public comments on the Firearms IFR, has determined that the Firearms IFR should be rescinded in its entirety--with the only exception being to maintain new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs). This final rule also amends the EAR by removing the Congressional notification requirement for certain semi-automatic firearms license applications. By restoring export controls on firearms to the state they were in at the end of the first Trump Administration, BIS is advancing the Administration's commitment to reducing regulatory burdens on industry and law-abiding firearms owners.","document_number":"2025-18992","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/30/2025-18992/revision-of-firearms-license-requirements","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-09-30/pdf/2025-18992.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-18992.pdf?1759149920","publication_date":"2025-09-30","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"Bureau of Industry and Security","name":"Industry and Security Bureau","id":241,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/industry-and-security-bureau","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/241","parent_id":54,"slug":"industry-and-security-bureau"}],"excerpts":"determined that these previous <span class=\"match\">license</span> review policies and support documentation requirements in effect prior to May 30, 2024, gave BIS and the other <span class=\"match\">license</span> review agencies sufficient information to review <span class=\"match\">license</span> applications and discretion to deny <span class=\"match\">license</span> applications as warranted to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
