Ok, don't panic. This is nothing new. Apparently the "forms" filed involve only manufacturer's seeking to use certain imported parts. It doesn't affect an individual who wishes to build a firearm from scratch, with a parts kit, etc.

Text of rule:

With certain exceptions a firearm may be made by a nonlicensee provided it is not for sale and the maker is not prohibited from possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from making a semiautomatic assault weapon or assembling a nonsporting semiautomatic rifle or nonsporting shotgun from imported parts. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and approval by ATF. An application to make a machinegun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for a federal or state agency. [18 U. S. C. 922( o), (r), (v), and 923, 27 CFR 178.39, 178.40, 178.41 and 179.105]

So, focus your efforts back to fighting the real battle - the AWB sunset!
