T D.3: Background Checks
Improve the availability of dispositions and other information used to evaluate individuals for firearm and other civil background
checks.
Other Information:
Because of the lack of availability of dispositions, the FBI and the states cannot always complete the necessary firearm background
checks within the legally mandated three business days. In order to improve this performance gap, the NICS Section will work
to increase information sharing with state and federal agencies. This not only benefits NICS, but should also impact the overall
disposition problem. Priority Actions: Initiate an Outreach Program to increase information availability from state and federal
agencies. Develop and automate the Disposition Document File and any restoration of rights files submitted to the NICS Section.
Increase Protection Order records, Felony Flags, and Brady Indicators.
