Department of Justice August 23, 2023 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Justice is proposing to amend Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (``ATF'') regulations to require that any person who stores explosive materials notify on an annual basis the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials are being stored of the type of explosives, magazine capacity, and location of each site where such materials are stored. In addition, the proposed rule requires any person who stores explosive materials to notify the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in the locality in which the explosive materials were stored whenever storage is discontinued. These changes are intended to increase public safety.
