After careful consideration of the comments received regarding the complexity in
understanding the proposed Worksheet 4999 and the methodology used in the Worksheet
to evaluate firearms equipped with a “brace” device, this final rule does not adopt some
aspects of the approach proposed in the NPRM, specifically the Worksheet 4999 and its
point system. Instead, based on the comments received, the Department took the relevant
criteria discussed in the NPRM and Worksheet 4999 that indicate when a firearm is
designed, made, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and incorporated them into
the rule’s revised definitions of rifle.
