    For these reasons we decided that rather than to continue on the current course, we would take the steps listed below to ensure that FEAM is a worthwhile investment for both the industry and ATF:

    1. Curtail the current development effort.
    2. Determine what is needed to sustain the existing eForms system, until the full requirements for FEAM can be determined and developed.
    3. Make the necessary changes to eForms to stabilize the infrastructure with the ever-increasing user population.
    4. Determine if we can re-introduce the Form 3 to the current eForms, through load testing and other system validations.
    5. Perform an assessment of the ATF and industry requirements for FEAM.
    6. Secure required funding for a new FEAM initiative, based on the revised requirements.
    7. Restart the FEAM initiative, to include industry participation during the requirements gathering and testing processes.

    We look at this as only a minor delay. It is our intention to use this delay to acquire the tools and resources necessary to develop a product that will provide more functionality and a stable workflow process and infrastructure. All the work previously done on FEAM is not lost. It will be the foundation for the work that is yet to come. If you have any questions you can contact Lee Alston-Williams at lee.alston-williams@atf.gov.

    I just ran this through my Government Speak Interpreter. Here are the results:

    "We just spent a crap load of taxpayer money for a system that sucked so bad, we have to start over. We better try to salvage what we have in the mean time."
