The second number is the district, there are 64 districts, numbered 1–99. The district number is a holdover from when FFLs were managed by the IRS.

The third number is the FIPS code, there are 3,135 FIPS codes in the US, so we won’t show themall here. As an example, these are the FIPS codes in Utah. FIPS codes related to counties.

The 5th number (a number and a letter) refer to the expiration date of the FFL. The number refers to the year that it expires, so a 5 would expire in 2015.
The letter refers to the month in which it expires, and those correlate to A–M (without using ‘I’).
