DOJ/ATF RIN: 1140-AA20 Publication ID: Spring 2009 
Title: Implementation of the Safe Explosives Act--Delivery of Explosive Materials by Common or Contract Carrier 
Abstract: This rule amends the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to remove the requirement that common or contract carriers taking possession of explosive materials for delivery to a licensee or permittee complete ATF Form 5400.8 (Explosives Delivery Record) prior to taking possession of explosive materials, regardless of whether they are hired by the distributor or by the distributee. ATF believes that this requirement is unduly burdensome and unnecessary. Furthermore, ATF does not believe that the elimination of this form will result in diversion of explosive materials to criminal or terrorist use.
