Regina Lombardo is an American law enforcement official serving as acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives….

ATF special agents are highly trained, elite law enforcement officers who investigate violations of federal laws and regulations related to the criminal misuse of firearms and explosives, firearms trafficking, acts of arson, and the diversion of alcohol and tobacco products.

History: The oldest tax-collecting Treasury agency, the ATF traces its roots back nearly 200 years, to when Congress imposed a tax on imported spirits to help pay the Revolutionary War debt in 1789. At that time, administration of duties was within the Treasury Department.

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau

It was then that the ATF was given its own place as an agency within the Treasury department as the new Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. Its role is as a single agency to enforce federal drug laws and consolidate the governments crack down on drug trafficking, sale, and usage.

ATF’s responsibilities include the investigation and prevention of federal offenses involving the unlawful use, manufacture, and possession of firearms and explosives; acts of arson and bombings; and illegal trafficking of alcohol and tobacco products.

Federal regulations are created through a process known as rulemaking. By law, federal agencies such as ATF must consult the public when creating, modifying, or deleting rules in the Code of Federal Regulations. ATF makes documents associated with the rulemaking process available on this website.

In fiscal year (FY) 2020, ATF had 5,082 employees, including 2,653 special agents and 760 industry operations investigators. Its FY 2020 enacted budget was approximately $1.4 billion.

It depends on where you take it. At a mechanics shop or dealer, the price will likely range between $80 to $250. However, if you’re willing and able to do it yourself, it should fall between $50-$100.

If you don’t change your transmission fluid frequently, the dirty fluid will not serve as an effective lubricant and it won’t disperse heat well. This will cause wear and tear on the clutches and other parts of your transmission.

You should change your automatic transmission fluid according to the manufacturer’s recommendation— whether that’s 30,000 or 100,000 miles. A transmission flush-and-fill from a shop will cost you $149 to $199. But you can do it yourself and save about $100. Draining the old fluid has always been a messy, ugly job.

If fluid temperatures can be held to 175 degrees F., ATF will last almost indefinitely — say up to 100,000 miles. But if the fluid temperature goes much higher, the life of the fluid begins to plummet.

Changing the transmission fluid on a high-mileage car is risky. Don’t do it unless your transmission is running fine and the fluid is first-rate, because it can make transmission failure imminent.

You can just add new fluid without draining some, unless you are replacing what has leaked out. The transmission doesn’t have a plug like the oil pan either, you have to loosen the bolts all the way around the pan and be prepared to replace the gasket when you get ready to close.

The simple answer is yes. But service intervals for new vehicles can exceed 100,000 miles before this needs to be done. That makes this seemingly clear-cut advice something of a conundrum for car owners. Those who don’t hold on to a new vehicle for very long may never have to have the transmission fluid changed.
