[QUOTE="deputyrpa, post: 2997214, member: 37786"] In NY at the state level, decision time frames are in law. However, there are ways to stop the clock which were not contemplated by the state legislature, and regularly abused by staff who just refused to make decisions for mostly personal reasons and fear of being sued by greenie groups. Yes, regularly. Appointed politicians at the executive just ignored law for optics and overruled staff - halting time frames for purely political reasons. They would say it was a entirely legitimate political decision, and my reply would be that the legislature already made those. Ahhhhh.....the most enjoyable part of my job was de-bureaucraticizing government for the people, and watching others at my level get some balls and follow my lead. Although I haven't read into it, I would imagine that the ATF has to abide by federal Administrative Procedures laws. Although suits alleging violations of AP laws usually do not change the decision outcome (judges defer to "experts" for approvals or denials), they do force action on applications and cause policy changes when AP procedures have been found incorrectly applied or ignored.
