The tit-for-tat is that in exchange for not requiring LEO sign-off for NFA toys, that trust/corp members would be subject to background checks. The rationale was that people were making trusts/corps to get around LEO sign-off -- so take away the LEO sign-off requirement and there is 'no reason' to have a Trust anymore.

Hit the nail on the head. The board members at the American Silencer Association have been discussing this with the BATFE for quite some time and they believed it would hit at some point this year. From everything they have told me it does not change anything for any transfers or making forms in process before the regulation goes into effect. The BATFE will have to issue new forms which in itself takes a good deal of time. This is coming but I expect it is down the road a little ways.
