ACTION: Explosives:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Notice of List of Explosive Materials.

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

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

DOCUMENT 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.

SUMMARY: Commerce in explosives—; Explosive materials list,

SUPPLEMENTAL 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 allinclusive. 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).
