COMPUTERIZED

RECORDKEEPING SYSTEMS

Explosives licensees/permittees wishing to use an automated

data processing system to keep required Federal explosive

records must obtain an approved variance (27 CFR 55.22,

.122, .123, .124, .125, and/or .127) before relying on such a

system.

Licensees/permittees who wish to apply for a variance to use

computerized records should make certain that their proposed

systems meet the following criteria:

(1) The alternate system must contain the same information as required by the regulations in 27 CFR 55.122,

.123, .124, .125, and/or .127.

(a) ACQUISITION:

(1) Date of importation or other acquisition.

(2) Name or brand name of manufacturer and

country of manufacture.

(3) Manufacturer’s marks of identification.

(4) Quantity (applicable quantity units, such as

pounds of explosives, number of detonators,

etc.).

(5) Description (dynamite (dyn), blasting agents

(ba), detonators (det), etc.) and size (length

and diameter).

(b) DISPOSITION:

(1) Date of disposition

(2) Name or brand name of manufacturer and

country of manufacture.

(3) Manufacturer’s marks of identification, i.e.,

date shift code and/or lot number.

(4) Quantity (applicable quantity units such as

pounds of explosives, number of detonators,

etc.).

(5) Description (dynamite (dyn), blasting agents

(ba), detonators (det), etc.), and size (length

and diameter)

(6) License or permit number of licensee or

permittee to whom the explosive materials

are distributed.

(2) The system must have the ability to be queried by

date shift code and/or lot number.

(3) The system must have an acceptable daily memory

backup capability, such as disk or tape.

(4) The system must be capable of providing a printout

of all records:

(a) For purposes of inspection by ATF.

(b) When the system memory is purged.

(c) When business is discontinued.

(5) The computer printout must contain explosives in

inventory, as well as all that were sold during the period

covered, sequentially by date of acquisition.

(6) The system must account for and record all explosive

materials returned.

(7) The system must record both the manufacturer and

the importer of foreign-made explosives.

(8) The system must record the names and addresses of

the distributee (buyer) and in the case of a corporation or

other business entity, its authorized representative or

agent must be included in the computer data. An ATF

Form 5400.4 transaction number may be used to reference additional information, such as the date of birth, the

place of birth, the identification used, etc.

(9) The system cannot rely on invoices or other paper/

manual systems to provide any of the required information (must be self-contained).

(10) If the business is discontinued, all records, (including a final printout) must be forwarded to the ATF out-ofBusiness Records Center, or any ATF office in the

District in which the Business was located (27 CFR

55.128).

ATF will consider variance requests for proposed commercial

recordkeeping systems that meet the above requirements.

Approval of a system does not constitute any ATF endorsement. ATF’s name may not be used in conjunction with a

commercial product (i.e., “ATF approved”). Any licensee

who purchases such an automated data processing system

must still apply to ATF requesting approval to use that

system.

Letters to the Editor

If I manufacture explosives and use them up the

same day, do I need a storage facility?

No. The regulations (27 CFR 55.205) provide that

explosives that are in the process of manufacture or in use

need not be stored in accordance with the regulations.

Is a manufacturing license required for agricultural

use of binary explosives?

No, as long as the user is not involved in the business

of manufacturing explosives. For example, if a farmer buys

binary explosives for use in blowing tree stumps, he does not

need a manufacturing license. However, if the farmer

conducted a business whereby he sold a service, e.g., blowing

stumps/rocks, etc., for other people, he would then be

required to possess a manufacturing license.

Can the components of binary explosives be stored

together?

Yes. The binary components are not considered

explosives until mixed.

After conducting an inventory of our explosives on

hand, we noticed one case of dynamite missing. After

double-checking all Daily Summary of Magazine transactions, invoices, and delivery sheets, the case of dynamite is

still unexplained. What do I do now?

You must report, within 24 hours of discovery of a

theft or loss of explosives, to ATF by telephone (toll free:

800-800-3855). ATF 5400.5 “Report of Theft or LossExplosive Materials” must then be completed and forwarded

in accordance with the instructions on the form.

Is a manufacturers’ license required to manufacture

explosives for personal, non-business use?

No. A manufacturers license is needed only for

persons who manufacture explosives for sale, distribution, or

for business use.

I have a small amount of plastic explosives on hand.

How will the new Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty

of 1996 affect me?

If the plastic explosives were manufactured before

April 24, 1996, you have until April 24, 1999, to use it up,

destroy it, or incorporate a detection agent in it. For further

information, see section on Antiterrorism and Effective Death

Penalty Act of 1996.

How do I calculate the weight of explosives in

fireworks cakes and aerial shells?

When the actual amount of explosive material in a

fireworks cake is unknown, 25% of the total weight of the

cake should be used in determining the amount of explosive

material. If the actual amount of explosive material in an

aerial shell is unknown, 50% of the total weight should be

used in determining the amount of explosive material.

ITEMS OF INTEREST

amendments involve requiring the explosives industry to

notify local law enforcement officials and fire departments of

sites where explosives are stored or manufactured, increasing

the license and permit fees, elimination of the manufacturerlimited license, clarification of definitions, and amendment of

the American Table of Distances to conform with the explosives industry’s latest revisions. These proposals were

introduced for a 90-day comment period which ended on

January 13, 1997. During the comment period, ATF received

approximately 400 letters, primarily from the model rocket

industry. Their comments suggested that ATF create a

separate category for rocketry permits with lower fees. ATF

is considering the relative merits of such a proposal and will

issue a final rule in the near future.

DISTRICT EXPLOSIVE OFFICERS

ESTABLISHMENT OF

DISTRICT EXPLOSIVE OFFICERS

In an effort to maintain an open line of communication

between ATF and the explosives industry, ATF has designated

District Explosive Officers (DEO). In each of the five ATF

districts, DEOs can serve as a valuable source of information

to the explosives industry. These individuals will concentrate

on explosives issues and provide the most up-to-date and

complete ATF information available to the industry. Listed

ANTITERRORISM AND EFFECTIVE

DEATH PENALTY ACT OF 1996

On July 23, 1996, the Federal Register published the final

rule titled: Commerce in Explosives; Implementation of

Provisions of Public Law 104-132, the Antiterrorism and

Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Relating to Plastic

Explosives. This final rule required all individuals, other than

an agency of the United States (including any military reserve

component) or National Guard of any State, to report to the

Secretary by August 22, 1996, all plastic explosives in

inventory on April 24, 1996. The report had to contain the

quantity of explosive(s), name of manufacturer or importer,

marks of identification, name and address of possessor, and

location of storage. There are four specifically named

substances which, when introduced into the plastic explosives

during the manufacturing process, achieve a homogeneous

distribution in the finished product:

1) Ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN), C2

H4(NO3)2,

molecular weight 152, when the minimum concentration

in the finished explosive is 0.2 percent by mass;

2) 2,3-Dimethyl-2, 3-dinitrobutane (DMNB),

C6

H12(NO2)2, molecular weight176, when the minimum

concentration in the finished explosive is 0.1 percent by

mass;

3) Para-Mononitrotoluene (p-MNT), C7H7NO2, molecular

weight 137, when the minimum concentration in the
4

finished explosive is 0.5 percent by mass;

4) Ortho-Mononitrotoluene (o-MNT), C7H7NO2 molecular weight 137, when the minimum concentration in the

finished explosive is 0.5 percent by mass;

5) Any other substance in the concentration specified by

the Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of

State and the Secretary of Defense, that has been added

to the table in part 2 of the Technical Annex to the

Convention on the Marking of Plastic Explosives.

The only plastic explosive materials which would qualify for

exemption from the detection agent requirements are:

1) those consisting of a small amount intended and used

solely in lawfula) research, development, or testing of new or

modified explosive materials;

b) training in explosives detection or development

or testing of explosives detection equipment; or

c) forensic science purposes; or

2) was plastic explosive that, within 3 years of the date of

enactment of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death

Penalty Act of 1996, will be or is incorporated in a

military device within the territory of the United States

and remains an integral part of such military device, or is

intended to be, or is incorporated in, and remains an

integral part of a military device that is intended to

become, or has become, the property of any agency of

the United States performing military or police

functions...or the National Guard of any State, wherever

such device is located.

The following chart may be used as a guide for determining

legal possession of plastic explosives:

National Repository of Arson and

Explosive Incidents

The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997

(Lautenburg) amended 18 U.S.C. Section 846, by authorizing

ATF to establish a national repository of information on

incidents involving arson and the suspected criminal misuse

of explosives. All Federal agencies are required to report to

ATF any information concerning such incidents. ATF will

also maintain information voluntarily submitted by State and

local authorities. Regulations detailing the types of information, time frame, and manner in which to report the information will be forthcoming.

ATF and the INTERNET

ATF’s internet address has changed to www.atf.treas.gov.

The explosives information page is currently being developed

to provide access to the most current and accurate information available. On this homepage, you will be able to find

information on newly enacted laws and regulations, profiles

of ATF’s Most Wanted, Arson and Explosives, important

telephone numbers, as well as information concerning the

alcohol, tobacco and firearms industries. Please continue to

visit our web site to see what new information is available.

EXPLOSIVES SECURITY

In today’s society, it is imperative that the security of explosive materials be given a high priority. Although ATF

Inspectors check the explosive magazines for compliance

with the security provisions, only the manufacturer, importer,

user, and/or dealer can ensure the highest level of security.

Please emphasize to all employees the need for security

awareness. Some suggestions for heightened awareness are:

1) Ensure tight controls over keys to magazines (during

1991-1995 there were 21 reported incidents where thefts

from explosives magazines occurred through the use of a

key).

2) Increase the frequency of checks on magazines; make

sure the “dark side” of the magazines are checked as well

(during 1991-1995, there were 20 reported incidents

where thefts from magazines occurred by doors pried or

blown open).

3) Maintain accurate records detailing the acquisition

and removal of explosives. Pay attention to explosive

materials being returned as “unused” from various job

sites.

4) Ensure locks on magazines meet the standards

outlined in 27 CFR Part 55. (1991-1995 statistics show

24% of all reported thefts of explosive materials were as

a result of the thief prying and cutting locks).

If you notice a loss or theft of explosives, you are required to

report it to ATF within 24 hours of discovery by telephone

(800) 800-3855. Follow this telephone call with the completion of ATF Form 5400.5, “Report of Theft or Loss-Explosive

Materials”, and submit in accordance with the instructions on

the form.

If manufactured or Legal to possess

This is to alert you that there are specific requirements and

special precautions when you make sales to holders of userlimited permits - Type 37

1. The limited user permit is only valid for a single

purchase of low explosives (fireworks).

2. At the time of sale, you must write the transaction

date, your signature and your license number on the front

of the original user-limited permit prior to returning the

permit to the permit holder.

3. Require identification of all persons using a userlimited permit to purchase fireworks!

4. All Type 37 user-limited permits are valid for only one

year. Be sure the permit is not expired before accepting

an order for fireworks.

5. Report all attempts to make multiple use of the userlimited permits to your nearest ATF office.

6. Only original Type 37 permits can be accepted for

fireworks sales.

7. Be alert for any explosives permits or licenses which

appear to be altered in any way. Your local ATF Regulatory Enforcement office can resolve any issues with

questionable licenses or permits.

8. If you are uncertain about making any

fireworks transactions, contact an ATF

Regulatory Enforcement office first!!

AIRBAGS

Several questions have arisen regarding the

manufacture, distribution, and possession of

airbag initiators.

In order to obtain the explosive material used

in the airbag initiators and produce the initiator

for installation into an airbag unit, a license as

a manufacturer of low explosives is needed. If

manufactured initiators are purchased from an out-of-state

source for installation into an airbag device, a Federal user of

low explosive permit is required. Once the explosive material

has been incorporated into the airbag device, it may be

exempted from regulation. In other words, manufacturers of

these complete [airbag] devices, must apply for exemption

status under 27 CFR 55.32 prior to the interstate distribution

to non-licensees/non-permittees. Once the device has been

exempted under 27 CFR 55.32, the subsequent sale of these

airbags, containing the initiator, does not require an ATF

license or permit. However, if the initiator is later removed

from the device, it once again becomes a regulated item.

Thus, individuals and/or corporations receiving these airbag

devices for destruction or for the extraction of the initiators

from the unit would need a Federal users permit to acquire

them in interstate commerce.

*NOTICE*

Effective October 1, 1991, many of the Department of

Transportation’s (DOT) shipping names and classifications

were changed for domestic transportation. The following two

charts provide (1) a comparison of the old and new DOT

classifications for explosives, and (2) an aide for clarification

of the classification of explosive materials by ATF as high,

low, and blasting agents, from those classified by DOT as 1.1,

1.2, etc.

Keep in mind that the DOT classification is primarily focused

on the safe transportation of the various explosive materials.

ATF’s classification concerns the safe storage of explosives

and reflects the type of license and/or permit required for the

Class A Explosives Division 1.1 or 1.2

THEATRICAL FLASH POWDER

On September 27, 1991, ATF relaxed the licensing requirements for on-site manufacturers of small quantities of

theatrical flash powder. A new license type was created (Type

19, Manufacturer of Binary Explosives), which allows on-site

manufacturers to operate nationally on one license issued to

their principal place of business. Small quantities of theatrical flash powder is defined as premeasured kits not exceeding

one (1) ounce and mixed immediately prior to use and

intended for use in theatrical shows, stage plays, band

concerts, magic acts, thrill shows, and clown acts in circuses.

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C 843(g), on-site manufacturers of

theatrical flash powder are required to post their license on

the premises covered by the license. Since this rule will allow

on-site manufacturers to operate on one license in any State,

this license must be posted at each site where the theatrical

flash powder is mixed and used. Individuals who manufacture flash powder from larger quantities of base chemicals are

required to obtain a license in each region in which activity is

conducted. Please remember that a Federal explosive license

does not convey any rights or privileges to operate in violation of any State law or local ordinances. Prior to conducting

any activity involving the use of explosives, it is suggested

that you contact your State and/or local Fire Marshals’ office

for license and permit requirements.

BE AWARE AMERICA!

ATF has developed many partnerships to prevent the criminal

misuse of explosives. Those partnerships include the Fertilizer Institute, the Agricultural Retailers Association, and the

Association of American Plant Food Control Officials. By

working with these organizations, ATF hopes to heighten

awareness surrounding the uncontrolled purchase of ammonium nitrate-based fertilizers and other commonly available

materials easily rendered into explosives. Let’s work together

to prevent such tragedies as the bombing of the Oklahoma

City Federal Building, bombing of the World Trade Center,

and others. Please report any suspicious purchases or

attempted purchases of any explosive compounds or materials. You may report these purchasers by contacting the

nearest ATF Office (phone numbers and addresses located in

this publication), or call the toll free number 1-800-800-3855,

extension 8030.

Help prevent the criminal misuse of explosive materials!
