You're probably thinking of program that was enacted that would allow convicted felons to appeal and have their RKBA restored via the ATF.

However, the program was a wash because it was never funded.

Anyone convicted of a felony (with one exception... you must know which one it is with your treasure trove of knowledge), is barred for life from owing, purchasing and possession of firearms.

Even misdemeanors handed down by a local or state court of law can be a lifetime disqualification (if the potential maximum sentence that could be imposed exceeds 2 years or more).

One can have their RKBA restored if the conviction is expunged from their records, or if granted a pardon.

Glad I could help
