Department of Justice October 28, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

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 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). The Department further seeks to clarify that ``black powder substitutes'' are explosives; and have, therefore, added this term to the List of Explosive Materials. This notice publishes the 2013 List of Explosive Materials.
