Contractor's Safety for Ammunition and Explosives

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Defense, DoD.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On December 16 1994, 59 FR 64911, the Department of Defense 
published a proposed rule which codifies its revised explosives safety 
standards for ammunition and explosives (A&E) work performed under DoD 
contracts. The proposed rule is necessary to minimize the potential for 
mishaps that could interrupt DoD operations, delay project completion 
dates, adversely impact DoD production base or capability, damage or 
destroy DoD-owned material/equipment, cause injury to DoD personnel, or 
endanger the general public. Comments were requested by February 14, 
1995. The DoD Explosives Safety Board has been requested by several 
interested contractors to extend the comment period to provide time for 
a more detailed technical review. In the interest of all concerned 
parties, including the DoD and its potential A&E contractors, notice is 
hereby given of an extension of the Comment period from February 14, 
1995 through May 15, 1995.

DATES: Comments are requested by May 15, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to: Chairman, Department of Defense Explosives 
Safety Board, (DDESB), 2461 Eisenhower Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22331-
0600.
