Submission Process
The local, state, tribal, and federal agencies are provided with two modes to add, modify, supplement, or cancel NICS Index entries.
The first mode is an electronic connection between the NICS and the contributing agency using the NCIC-Front End. An agency may use this interface to electronically submit, modify, supplement, cancel, or display a denied person’s disqualifying information in the NICS Index. The second mode is batch data transfer on CD, diskette, or by secure e-mail. The NICS Index entries, modifications, supplements, and cancellations are to be processed by the contributing agency since the contributing agency is responsible for the accuracy and validity of the NICS Index information. It is imperative to update the NICS Index as necessary to minimize erroneous denials. The contributing agency is responsible for responding to appeals, assessments, and audits of the submitted records.

Notice what word is missing from the 'executive order'? And that it intends to PUNISH states which do not comply? Do the words "STATES RIGHTS" ring a bell?
