Tuesday, Republican members of the House Committee on Small Business wrote to Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Alan Estevez regarding the Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) recent 90-day pause on issuing commercial firearm export licenses.
"The Committee is unsure of how to properly characterize the document the BIS’s made its announcement with, as it is listed as a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) document. A FAQ document hardly seems like the proper venue for announcing a restriction that touches and concerns a fundamental right enumerated in the Bill of Rights," the members wrote.
"Rulemakings which have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities are required to comply with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and explain the rules impact on small entities."
The letter was penned by Chairman Roger Williams (R-TX), along with Reps. Tracey Mann (R-KS), Mark Alford (R-MO), Eli Crane (R-AZ), and Aaron Bean (R-FL)
