 and,  in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, the licensing officer shall
 designate the place of filing in the  appropriate  division,  bureau  or
 unit  of the police department thereof, and in the county of Suffolk the
 county clerk is hereby authorized to transfer all  records  or  applica-
 tions  relating  to  firearms to the licensing authority of that county.
 [Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (f) of  this  subdivision,
 the  name  and  address]  THE  APPLICATION  AND  ANY SUPPORTING RECORDS,
 INCLUDING ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN, of any person  to  whom  an

 his  OR  HER  place  of  residence such records or applications shall be
 transferred to the appropriate officer at the licensee's  new  place  of

 ance of the license. The [superintendent] COMMISSIONER of [state police]
