27 CFR Part 55

(Notice No. 841)
RIN: 1512-AB55


Commerce in Explosives

AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) proposes to 
amend the explosives regulations to require the explosives industry to 
notify local law enforcement officials and fire departments of sites 
where explosives are stored or manufactured, increase license and 
permit fees, eliminate the manufacturer-limited license, amend the 
definitions of ``fireworks'', ``fireworks nonprocess building'' and 
``highway'', and amend the American Table of Distances to conform with 
the explosives industry's latest revisions. The intended effect of 
these changes is to protect public safety, eliminate duplication with 
respect to licensing requirements, and to update references and 
definitions to reflect current industry and U.S. Department of 
Transportation terminology.

DATES: Written comments must be received by January 13, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to: Chief, Firearms and Explosives 
Operations Branch, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 650 
Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20091-0221. ATTN: Notice No. 
841.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gail Hosey, Firearms and Explosives 
Regulatory Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 650 
Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20226, (202-927-8310).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms 
(ATF) and the explosives industry have become increasingly concerned 
about the number and severity of accidental explosions that have 
occurred at sites where explosives are stored without the knowledge of 
State and local officials. Serious explosions have occurred that 
resulted in multiple deaths and injuries.
    In 1988, 6 firefighters were killed as a result of fighting a fire 
at a construction site where explosives were stored and had not been 
reported. ATF is concerned with the safety of emergency response 
personnel responding to fires on sites where

[[Page 53689]]

explosives are stored. In discussions with industry representatives on 
this subject, the Institute of Makers of Explosives (IME), an industry 
organization concerned with safety, requested that ATF incorporate two 
provisions in the regulations that are contained in IME safety 
publications. The IME recommends that ATF require anyone who stores 
explosive materials to notify local law enforcement officials and fire 
departments of the type, magazine capacity, and location of each site 
where explosive materials are stored. ATF believes that this 
information is necessary for the safety of emergency response 
personnel. Accordingly, this notice proposes the addition of this 
notification requirement to the regulations in Part 55. The proposed 
regulations will require all persons who store explosives to notify 
local law enforcement officials and fire departments orally before the 
end of the day on which storage of the explosive materials commenced 
and in writing within 48 hours from the time such storage commenced. 
This requirement would not apply to persons who merely use but are not 
subject to the storage requirements of the explosives regulations.
    Under 18 U.S.C. 842(j), the Secretary of the Treasury has the 
authority to issue regulations governing the storage of explosive 
materials. Section 842(j) further provides that in promulgating such 
regulations, the standards of safety and security recognized in the 
explosives industry shall be taken into consideration.
    Section 846, Title 18, U.S.C., gives the Secretary the authority to 
inspect the site of any accident or fire in which there is reason to 
believe that explosive materials were involved so that precautions may 
be taken to prevent similar accidents from occurring. This provision 
gives the Secretary the authority to issue regulations intended to help 
prevent accidents involving explosives.
    Finally, section 847, Title 18, U.S.C., gives the Secretary the 
authority to prescribe regulations as he deems reasonably necessary to 
carry out the provisions of Chapter 40, Title 18.
    ATF proposes to increase explosives license and permit fees to $200 
for each license and $100 for each permit. In a report dated September 
29, 1995, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Inspector 
General (OIG) found that ATF had not raised the explosives license and 
permit fees since the enactment of the Organized Crime Control Act of 
1970. In order to defray the cost of administering the program and to 
ensure consistency with licensing fees charged by State and local 
governments, the OIG recommended that ATF raise the fees to the maximum 
amount permitted. ATF concurs with the recommendation and proposes that 
the license and permit fees be raised accordingly. Under 18 U.S.C. 
843(a), the Secretary of the Treasury has the authority to set the 
license or permit fee in an amount not to exceed $200.
    ATF also proposes to amend the regulations to eliminate the 
manufacturer-limited license. Under current regulations, the 
manufacturer-limited license allows an individual to engage in the 
business of manufacturing explosives materials for his own use and not 
for sale or distribution. The manufacturer-limited license is only 
valid for a period of 30-days from the date of issuance and is not 
renewable. Activities covered by this license are also covered by a 
manufacturer's license that is valid for a period of three years and is 
renewable. ATF has not issued any manufacturer-limited licenses in the 
last three years and, therefore, ATF has determined that this category 
of license is unnecessary.
    ATF also proposes to amend the definitions of ``highway'' and 
``fireworks'' and change the names of ``common fireworks'' to 
``consumer fireworks'' and ``special fireworks'' to ``display 
fireworks'' and amend their definitions. These definitions are being 
amended to conform to current industry terminology and to incorporate 
the United Nations (UN) identification numbers for fireworks as 
described in the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations at 49 
CFR 172.101. The definition of ``fireworks nonprocess building'' is 
being amended to eliminate the unnecessary reference to fireworks plant 
warehouse. ``Fireworks plant warehouse'' is already defined in the 
regulations.
    In June 1991, the American Table of Distances was revised by the 
IME. ATF proposes to substantially adopt the American Table of 
Distances as revised by the IME. The IME revised the table to clarify 
the header for public highways and to change the minimum amount of 
explosives subject to the table from 2 pounds to any quantity of 
explosives.

Executive Order 12866

    It has been determined that this proposed regulation is not a 
significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866. 
Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    It is hereby certified that these proposed regulations will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. Accordingly, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not 
required. These proposed regulations provide clarification and 
consistency with industry terminology. In addition, the proposed 
increases in license and permit fees are within the maximum amounts 
provided by the statute. Further, the burden placed on licensees and 
permittees for the collection and disclosure of information to local 
law enforcement authorities is minimal.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    The collection of information contained in this notice has been 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3504(h)). Comments on the collection of information should be sent to 
the Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the 
Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC, 20503, 
with copies to the Chief, Document Services Branch, Room 3450, Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20226.
    The collection of information in this proposed regulation is in 27 
CFR 55.201(f). This information is required to inform local law 
enforcement officials and fire departments of sites where explosives 
are stored or manufactured. This information will be used to protect 
emergency response personnel called to fire scenes where explosives may 
be stored. The likely respondents are Federal licensees and permittees 
who store or manufacture explosive materials. Estimated total annual 
reporting burden per respondent: 1.5 hours. Estimated number of 
respondents: 10,057. Estimated annual frequency of responses: 2.

Public Participation

    ATF requests comments on the notice of proposed rulemaking from all 
interested persons. Comments received on or before the closing date 
will be carefully considered. Comments received after that date will be 
given the same consideration if it is practical to do so, but assurance 
of consideration cannot be given except as to comments received on or 
before the closing date.
    ATF will not recognize any material in comments as confidential. 
Comments may be disclosed to the public. Any material which the 
commenter considers to be confidential or inappropriate for disclosure 
to the public should not be included in the comment. The name of the 
person

[[Page 53690]]

submitting a comment is not exempt from disclosure.
    Any interested person who desires an opportunity to comment orally 
at a public hearing should submit his or her request, in writing, to 
the Director within the 90-day comment period. The Director, however, 
reserves the right to determine, in light of all circumstances, whether 
a public hearing is necessary.

record the information prescribed in Sec. 55.124(c).
    (d) Each permittee shall maintain separate records of disposition 
of surplus stocks of explosive materials to nonlicensees or 
nonpermittees as prescribed in Sec. 55.126.
    (e) The regional director (compliance) may authorize alternate 
records to be maintained by a permittee to record his acquisition of 
explosive materials, when it is shown by the permittee that alternate 
records will accurately and readily disclose the required information. 
A permittee who proposes to use alternate records shall submit a letter 
application to the regional director (compliance) and shall describe 
the proposed alternate records and the need for them. Alternate records 
are not to be employed by the permittee until approval is received from 
the regional director (compliance).

and 55.125, a licensee or permittee shall enter the inventory in a 
record of daily summary transactions to be kept at each magazine of an 
approved storage facility; however, these records may be kept at one 
central location on the business premises if separate records of daily 
transactions are kept for each magazine. Not later than the close of 
the next business day, each licensee and permittee shall record by 
manufacturer's name or brand name, the total quantity received in and 
removed from each magazine during the day, and the total remaining on 
hand at the end of the day. Quantity entries for display fireworks may 
be expressed as the number and size of individual display fireworks in 
a finished state or as the number of packaged display segments or 
packaged displays. Information as to the number and size of display 
fireworks contained in any one packaged display shall be provided to 
any ATF officer on request. Any discrepancy which might indicate a
