The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has authority to regulate explosives and to license privately owned explosives storage facilities. After the July 2004 theft of several hundred pounds of explosives from a state and local government storage facility, concerns arose about vulnerability to theft. GAO analyzed (1) the extent of explosives thefts from state and local government facilities, (2) ATF's authority to regulate and oversee state and local government explosives storage facilities, (3) the information ATF collects about state and local government storage facilities, and (4) security oversight measures in place at selected state and local government storage facilities. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-92/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-92.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-92/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-92.pdf GAO-06-92 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-92 Other Written Product GAO-06-92; ATF: Thefts of Explosives from State and Local Government Storage Facilities Are Few but May Be Underreported; Data collection Explosives Facility security Federal facilities Federal regulations Inspection Intergovernmental relations Larceny Law enforcement Noncompliance Safety regulation Safety standards Security assessments Warehouse facilities Volume 84 Page 922 84 Stat. 922 Volume 116 Page 2135 116 Stat. 2135 Public Law 91-452 Public Law 107-296
