**[Docket No. 2013R–6T]**

**Commerce in Explosives; List of Explosives Materials** 

**AGENCY :**  Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF); Department of Justice.

**ACTION :**  Notice of list of explosives 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). The Department further seeks to clarify that ‘‘black powder substitutes’’ are explosives; and have, therefore, added this term to the List of Explosive Materials. This notice publishes the 2013 List of Explosive Materials.

**DATES :**  The list becomes effective October 28, 2013.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Paul Brown, Chief, Explosives Industry Programs Branch; Firearms and Explosives Industry Division; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; United States Department of Justice; 99 New York Avenue NE., Washington, DC 20226; 202–648–7120.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The list includes 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. Explosives materials are listed alphabetically by their common names followed, where applicable, by chemical names and synonyms in brackets.

The Department has added one new term, ‘‘Black powder substitutes’’ that will appear after ‘‘Black powder based explosive mixtures’’ on the List of Explosive Materials. The addition of this term will not expand the list to include any materials not already covered under other names. Although these materials already appear on the List of Explosive Materials under their chemical, mixture or common names, ATF believes that placing this common general term on the list will clarify to readers who are unfamiliar with the nomenclature that these materials are explosives. The Department has not removed any listing since its last publication.

This list supersedes the List of Explosives Materials dated September 20, 2012 (Docket No. ATF 47N, 77 FR 58410). Notice of List of Explosives Materials
