Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 12, 2006 / Notices
(Commission or CPSC) has received a
petition (HP 07–1) requesting that the
Commission amend its regulation under
the Federal Hazardous Substances Act
(FHSA) to allow the use of the term
‘‘detonator’’ to be used interchangeably
with the term ‘‘blasting cap.’’ The
Commission solicits written comments
concerning the petition.1
DATES: The Office of the Secretary must
receive comments on the petition by
February 12, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the petition
may be filed by e-mail to
cpsc-os@cpsc.gov. Comments may also
be filed by facsimile to (301) 504–0127,
or delivered or mailed, preferably in five
copies, to the Office of the Secretary,
Consumer Product Safety Commission,
4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD
20814, telephone (301) 504–7923.
Comments should be captioned
‘‘Petition HP 07–1, Petition Requesting
Labeling Amendment of Blasting Caps.’’
The petition is available on the CPSC
Web site at https://www.cpsc.gov. A
request for a hard copy of the petition
may be directed to the Office of the
Secretary.
order to minimize the possibility that an
individual may not take recommended
precautions when handling initiating
devices, IME states that it has
encouraged the use of the term
‘‘detonator’’ instead of the term
‘‘blasting cap’’ whenever possible.
According to IME, there is no practical
benefit to requiring the use of both the
term ‘‘detonator’’ and ‘‘blasting cap’’ on
printed warnings given the limited
space available on small detonators.
IME also does not believe there is any
practical benefit to replacing the term
‘‘blasting cap’’ with ‘‘detonator’’ at this
time.
Interested parties may obtain a copy
of the petition on the CPSC Web site at
https://www.cpsc.gov or by writing or
calling the Office of the Secretary,
Consumer Product Safety Commission,
4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD
20814; telephone (301) 504–7923.
Dated: December 6, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Institute of Makers of Explosives (IME)
submitted correspondence requesting
that the Commission amend its
regulation at 16 CFR 1500.83(a)(35), to
allow the use of the term ‘‘detonator’’ to
be used interchangeably with the term
‘‘blasting cap.’’ IME requests the
addition of the term ‘‘detonator’’ to the
regulation as follows (added text is
underlined):
Individual detonators or blasting caps
are exempt from bearing the statement
‘‘Keep out of the reach of children,’’ or
its practical equivalent, if:
(i) Each detonator or cap bears
conspicuously in the largest type size
practicable the statement
‘‘DANGEROUS—BLASTING CAPS—
EXPLOSIVE’’ or ‘‘DANGEROUS—
DETONATOR—EXPLOSIVE’’;
IME states that the terms ‘‘detonator’’
and ‘‘blasting cap’’ are generally
synonymous in the explosive
community. IME asserts that the term
‘‘detonator’’ may be interpreted as being
more inclusive and is more commonly
used than the term ‘‘blasting cap.’’ In
1 Commissioner Thomas H. Moore filed a
statement which is available from the Office of the
Secretary or on the Commission’s Web site at

contractors are appropriately
implementing NISP security
requirements. These requirements are

prevent the improper disclosure of
classified information.
In accordance with Department of
Defense (DoD), 5220.22–R, ‘‘Industrial
Security Regulation,’’ DSS is required to
maintain a record of the results of
surveys and security reviews.
Documentation for each survey and/or
security review will be compiled
