DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, 

and Explosives 

[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).
