As I understand it, when a background check is run though NICS the information is not kept by the federal government but is retained by the FFL for a period of 20 years.
A NICS check can only be used to determine if a person can legally purchase a firearm and may be (not so sure about this) used by an FFL to run a background check on a prospective employee.
The NY State Police will now preform background checks for ammunition.
Can the NYSP retain/compile/store the information regarding ammunition purchases?
The NY State Police will now also become the Point of Contact for NICS checks.
Can they store the information provided to them to run the NICS check?
