SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is pleased to 
announce the release of ATF Publication 5400.7 (09/00), ``Federal 
Explosives Law and Regulations--2000.'' The purpose of this publication 
is to serve as a guide to Federal explosives law, regulations, and 
related information. Several changes have been made to explosives laws 
and regulations since the last publication.
    In examining the completed publication, we observed two errors in 
the regulations section which need to be corrected, as follows:
    1. In 27 CFR 55.218 (Table of distances for storage of explosive 
materials), footnote 3 at the end of the table, ``11/2 lbs.'' should be 
changed to read ``1\1/2\ lbs.''; and
    2. In 27 CFR 55.223 (Table of distances between fireworks process 
buildings and other specified areas), the title heading of the table 
was omitted and should be added to read:

Distance From Passenger Railways, Public Highways, Fireworks Plant 
Buildings Used to Store Consumer Fireworks and Articles Pyrotechnic, 
Magazines and Fireworks Shipping Buildings, and Inhabited Buildings.\3 
4 5\
    In addition to the above, we wish to point out that the correct 
address of the ATF Out-of-Business Records Center is: 2029 Stonewall 
Jackson Drive, Spring Mills Office Park, Falling Waters, West Virginia 
25419. The regulations at 27 CFR 55.128 (Discontinuance of business) 
will be amended to reflect this change in a forthcoming Treasury 
decision.

    Approved: November 13, 2000.
Bradley A. Buckles,
Director.
