Under 18 U.S.C. § 923(g), Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) are mandated to maintain records of firearm transactions, including ATF Form 4473, and make them available for inspection by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).​ 

Key Provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 923(g): 

1. Record-Keeping Requirements:
   FFLs must keep detailed records of all firearm acquisitions and dispositions. This includes maintaining completed ATF Form 4473s, which document the transfer of firearms to non-licensees. 
2. Retention Period:
   These records must be retained for a specified period—typically 20 years for completed transactions and 5 years for denied or canceled transactions. 
3. ATF Inspections:
   FFLs are required to make these records available for inspection by the ATF at reasonable times. This ensures compliance with federal firearms laws and facilitates criminal investigations. 
4. Reporting Theft or Loss:
   FFLs must report any theft or loss of firearms from their inventory to the ATF and local law enforcement authorities promptly. 

While 18 U.S.C. § 923(g) outlines the obligations of FFLs concerning record maintenance and availability to the ATF, it does not mandate that FFLs provide copies of Form 4473 to local law enforcement agencies unless presented with a subpoena or court order.​
