Abstract: The Department of Justice is amending the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), in part, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which requires an agency to review within 10 years of publication, rules for which an agency prepared a final regulatory flexibility analysis addressing the impact of the rule on small businesses or other small entities. This rule amends the explosives regulations relating to fireworks. In addition, this rule incorporates the provisions of an ATF Ruling 76-18, concerning alternate construction standards for storage facilities for explosive materials. This rule also addresses documentation requirements, various exemptions from the explosive regulations, and other amendments to the regulations that have been initiated by ATF or proposed by members of the explosives industry.
