I am filing my first post-41F application soon. I have a question regarding the CLEO notification.

Do I just send the CLEO a copy of my Form and just be done with it? Or does the ATF forward it for me?

Also, if I send it to the CLEO myself, how does the ATF verify I did to make sure I am in compliance? I really want this first application to go smoothly post-41F.

Thanks for any help in advance!
