AGENCY: Office for Civil Rights,

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: On January 16, 2013, 

President Barack Obama announced a 

series of Executive Actions to reduce 

gun violence in the United States, 

including efforts to improve the Federal 

government’s background check system 

for the sale or transfer of firearms by 

licensed dealers, called the National 

Instant Criminal Background Check 

System (NICS). Among those persons 

disqualified from possessing or 

receiving firearms under Federal law are 

individuals who have been 

involuntarily committed to a mental 

institution; found incompetent to stand 

trial or not guilty by reason of insanity; 

or otherwise have been determined, 

through a formal adjudication process, 

to have a severe mental condition that 

results in the individuals presenting a 

danger to themselves or others or being 

incapable of managing their own affairs 

(referred to below as the ‘‘mental health 

prohibitor’’). Concerns have been raised 

that, in certain states, the Health 

Insurance Portability and 

Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) 

Privacy Rule may be a barrier to States’ 

reporting the identities of individuals 

subject to the mental health prohibitor
