[Notice No. 360]

Commerce in Explosives; List of

Explosive Materials

Pursuant to the provisions of section

841(d) of Title 18, United States Code,

and 27 CFR 55.23, the Director, Bureau

of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 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. Chapter 40, Importation,

Manufacture, Distribution and Storage

of Explosive Materials. This chapter

covers not only explosives, but also

blasting agents and detonators, all of

which are defined as explosive

materials in section 841(c) of Title 18,

United States Code. Accordingly, the

following is the 1998 List of Explosive

Materials subject to regulation under 18

U.S.C. Chapter 40, which includes both

the list of explosives (including

detonators) required to be published in

the Federal Register and blasting agents.

The list is intended to include any and

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 may

not be on the list does not mean that it

is not within the coverage of the law if

it otherwise meets the statutory

definitions in section 841 of Title 18,

United States Code. Explosive materials

are listed alphabetically by their

common names followed by chemical

names and synonyms in brackets. This

revised list supersedes the List of

Explosive Materials dated April 25,

1997, FR, Vol. 62 No. 80, and will be

effective as of the date of publication in

the Federal Register.
