3. Approval of Application. Upon approval of an application, the NFA Division

the transferee. Since the approval of the application effectuates registration
of the firearm to the transferee, the physical transfer of the firearm must be
completed immediately; however, the transferor must not transfer the firearm
until the application has been approved and received. If the physical transfer
of the firearm cannot be completed immediately, the transferor must contact
the NFA Branch with the specifics.
4. Withdrawal of Application. The transferor may withdraw an application
prior to approval subsequent to a written request directed to the Chief, NFA
Division, 244 Needy Road, Martinsburg, WV 25405; or submit it request
electronically via NFAFAX@ATF.GOV.
5. Cancellation of Approved Application. The transferor may void an
approved application only if the physical transfer of the firearm has not been
completed. The transferor must return the approved application with a written
request directed to the Chief, NFA Division, 244 Needy Road, Martinsburg,
WV 25405 or electronically to NFAFAX@ATF.GOV for cancellation, citing
the need and that the physical transfer of the firearm did not take place.
6. Disapproval of Application. If the application is disapproved, the NFA
Division will note the reason for disapproval on the application and return one
copy of the ATF Form 5 to the transferor.
