This entry into the register declares and records the now fact that the Director of the ATF has the authority to deny or suspend a Federal Firearms License (FFL), and that he/she may also revoke an ffl or impose a civil fine in cases of misdeed/rule-breaking. So, now one individual has collective authority (consolidated power). Why? To simplify and make procedures more efficient. This notice is worth a read. No need for tinfoil hats; just an interesting and important to note shift/concentration of power. Goes into effect August 2nd 2010.
