This program will also seek to collect information on reasons for denials, appeals of these denials, and law enforcement actions the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) take against denied persons.

The initial award will be for $800,000 and will cover a two year data collection for the 2018 and 2019 calendar reference years.
