DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

[Docket No. ATF 19N]

 
Commerce in Explosives; List of Explosive Materials (2006R-2P)

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

ACTION: Notice of List of Explosive 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

[[Page 56556]]

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). This notice publishes the 2006 List of Explosive 
Materials.

DATES: The list becomes effective upon publication of this notice on 
September 27, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Bangs, Chief; Explosives Industry 
Programs Branch; Arson and Explosives Programs Division; Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; United States Department of 
Justice; 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20226 (202-927-
2310).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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. Explosive materials are listed alphabetically by their 
common names followed, where applicable, by chemical names and synonyms 
in brackets.
    The Department has not added any new terms to the list of 
explosives or removed or revised any listing since its last 
publication.
    This list supersedes the List of Explosive Materials dated December 
12, 2005 (Docket No. ATF 18N, 70 FR 73483).
