Title 41 - FIRE PROTECTION
Part 230 - PYROTECHNIC DISTRIBUTOR AND OPERATOR LICENSING RULES
Section 230.55 - Qualifications for Production Company License

a) Except as provided in this Section, no license shall be granted to an applicant who is not a production company that provides pyrotechnic display services or pyrotechnic services as part of any production, has not reached the age of 21, has not met the requirements of the Act (in particular Section 35) and paid the required application fee.

b) The applicant must have a current Identification Number and Hazardous Materials Registration Number issued by USDOT. In the event the applicant distributes only flame effect pyrotechnic displays, and/or the applicant never transports materials in quantities that require registration with USDOT, the applicant must submit an affidavit, signed under penalty of perjury. In this affidavit the applicant shall identify all materials he/she uses in the display services provided, the quantity of each material transported for these displays, and an acknowledgement that the applicant never transports materials in quantities that require registration with USDOT. If the applicant never transports materials in quantities that require registration with USDOT, but takes possession of those materials at the display site, the applicant must maintain a file of all documentation concerning the transportation of those materials and provide copies of the documents to OSFM upon request. Alternatively, this information may be provided by the licensed lead pyrotechnic operator for the production company.
