DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
[Docket No. ATF 28N]
Commerce in Explosives; List of Explosive Materials (2008R-17T)
AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF),
Department of Justice.
ACTION: Notice of List of Explosive Materials.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 841(d) and 27 CFR 555.23, the Department
must publish and revise at least annually in the Federal Register a
list of explosives determined to be within the coverage of 18 U.S.C.
841 et seq. The list covers not only explosives, but also blasting
agents and detonators, all of which are defined as explosive materials
in 18 U.S.C. 841(c). This notice publishes the 2008 List of Explosive
Materials.
DATES: The list becomes effective upon publication of this notice on
December 31, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Debra S. Satkowiak, Chief; Explosives
Industry Programs Branch; Arson and Explosives Programs Division;
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; United States
Department of Justice; 99 New York Avenue, NE., Washington, DC 20226
(202-648-7100).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The list is intended to include any and all
mixtures containing any of the materials on the list. Materials
constituting blasting agents are marked by an asterisk. While the list
is comprehensive, it is not all-inclusive. The fact that an explosive
material is not on the list does not mean that it is not within the
coverage of the law if it otherwise meets the statutory definitions in
18 U.S.C. 841. Explosive materials are listed alphabetically by their
common names followed, where applicable, by chemical names and synonyms
in brackets.
The Department has not added any new terms to the list of
explosives or removed or revised any listing since its last
publication.
This list supersedes the List of Explosive Materials dated December
7, 2007 (Docket No. ATF 25N, 72 FR 69228).
