BILLING CODE 5001–06–C 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Revision of the DoD 6055.09–STD, 

‘‘Department of Defense Ammunition 

and Explosives Safety Standards’’ 

AGENCY: Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of change. 

SUMMARY: The Chairman, Department of 

Defense Explosives Safety Board 

(DDESB), is today announcing several 

changes to DoD 6055.9–STD, dated 5 

October 2004. The DDESB is 

republishing the Standard (now DoD 

6055.09–STD) with changes deliberated 

by the Voting Board members from 

October 5, 2004 to July 18, 2005. 

The DDESB is taking this action 

pursuant to its statutory authority as set 

forth in Title 10, United States Code, 

Section 172 (10 U.S.C. 172) and DoD 

Directive 6055.9E, ‘‘Explosives Safety 

Management and the Explosives Safety 

Board (DDESB),’’ August 19, 2005. The 

Standard is applicable to the Office of 

the Secretary of Defense, the Military 

Departments, the Office of the Chairman 

of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the 

Combatant Commands, the Office of the 

Inspector General of the Department of 

Defense, the Defense Agencies, the DoD 

Field Activities, and all other 

organizational entities in the 

Department of Defense (hereafter 

referred to collectively as the ‘‘DoD 

Components’’). 

Through DoD 6055.09–STD, the 

DDESB establishes minimum explosives 

safety requirements for storing and 

handling ammunition and explosives. 

Copies of the revised Standard dated 

February 29, 2008, may be downloaded 

from the DoD Directives Program Web 

site at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/ 

directives. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

more detailed information on specific 

aspects of this Standard, contact Dr. 

Jerry M. Ward, phone: (703) 325–2525; 

e-mail: Jerry.Ward@ddesb.osd.mil; 

DDESB, 2461 Eisenhower Avenue, 

Room 856C, Alexandria, VA 22331– 

0600. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dating 

back to 1928 when Congress directed 

the Secretaries of the military 

departments to establish a joint board of 

officers to ‘‘keep informed on stored 

supplies of ammunition and 

components thereof * * *, with 

particular regard to keeping those 

supplies properly dispersed and stored 

and to preventing hazardous conditions 

from arising to endanger life and 

property inside or outside of storage 

reservations,’’ the DDESB (formerly 

known as the Ammunition Safety 

Board) has periodically revised or 

updated the Standard based on new 

scientific or technical information and 

explosives safety experience. The 

implementation of a change to DoD 

6055.09–STD depends on formal 

publication of a change to DoD 6055.09– 

STD. In order to ensure compliance, the 

DoD Components modify their 

implementing procedures and standards 

accordingly. 

This revision to the 5 October 2004 

version of DoD 6055.09–STD 

incorporates, as appropriate, 

recommendations made by Voting 

Board members at the 327th DDESB 

meeting held on December 14, 2004, 

and the 328th DDESB meeting held on 

July 18, 2005, and included in their 

replies to DDESB vote by 

correspondence memoranda dated 

March 11, 2005 and June 30, 2005. 

The changes included herein address 

the following: 

• Replaces Chapter 12 ‘‘Real Property 

Contaminated with Ammunition, 

Explosives or Chemical Agents’’ with 

completely revised Chapter 12 ‘‘Real 

Property Known or Suspected to 

Contain Munitions and Explosives of 

Concern and Chemical Agents’’ that 

includes explosives safety standards for 

the identification and control of areas 

known or suspected to contain 

Munitions and Explosives of Concern 

(MEC) or Chemical Agents (CA), 

addresses explosives and CA safety 

aspects of response actions as well as 

special considerations, provides criteria 

for required safety submissions as well 

as for amendments and corrections to 

these submissions, provides criteria for 

after action reports, provides criteria for 

transfer of real property outside of DoD 

control 

• Relocates criteria for the 

termination of use of facilities storing 

ammunition and explosives from the 

previous Chapter 12 to Chapter 1 

• Includes a new Chapter 15 

‘‘Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)’’ that 

provides criteria for the disposition of 

UXO, addresses special considerations, 

provides criteria for access to areas 

known or suspected to contain UXO and 

for identification and control of such 

areas, provides minimum separation 

distances for UXO, addresses other 

considerations 

• Includes a new Chapter 16 

‘‘Material Potentially Presenting an 

Explosives Hazard (MPPEH)’’ that 

provides explosives safety standards for 

MPPEH 

• Expands Glossary to include new 

terms used in the revised Chapter 12, 

and new Chapters 15 and 16 

• Removes the exception for quantitydistance (QD) application to roll-on and 

roll-off ammunition and explosives 

operations 

• Establishes criteria for the siting of 

and authorized operations at reduced 

QD magazines 

• Expands the criteria for application 

of no QD to ammunition and explosives 

stored in ships’ magazines and intended 

for the service of shipboard armament or 

aircraft 

In adopting these changes, the 

Chairman, DDESB has determined that 

the Standards, as changed, are at least 

as protective as the previous Standards.
