Annual Notices on Explosive Materials Storage Facilities to Local Fire Authority (1140-AA51)

Action

Final rule

Purpose

ATF is amending Department of Justice regulations on reporting explosive materials storage. Currently, any person who stores explosive materials subject to ATF's explosives regulations must notify the authority having jurisdiction for fire safety in that locality when they begin storing explosives at that site. This rule adds a requirement to also submit written notices every 12 months thereafter and when the person ceases storing explosives at that location and to retain copies of the notices for five years. These changes are intended to increase public safety, particularly for first responders.
