Pursuant to Federal law, the Department of Justice must publish and revise at least annually in the Federal Register a list of explosives determined to be explosive materials. The list covers not only explosives, but also blasting agents and detonators, all of which are defined as ``explosive materials.'' This notice contains the 2017 Annual List of Explosive Materials, which remains unchanged from the 2016 Annual List of Explosives.

[Docket No. 2017R-19]


Commerce in Explosives; 2017 Annual List of Explosive Materials

AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF); 
Department of Justice.

ACTION: Notice of List of Explosive Materials.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Federal law, the Department of Justice must 
publish and revise at least annually in the Federal Register a list of 
explosives determined to be explosive materials. The list covers not 
only explosives, but also blasting agents and detonators, all of which 
are defined as ``explosive materials.'' This notice contains the 2017 
Annual List of Explosive Materials, which remains unchanged from the 
2016 Annual List of Explosives.

DATES: The list becomes effective December 28, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William E. Frye Jr., Chief, Explosives 
Industry Programs Branch; Firearms and Explosives Industry Division; 
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; United States 
Department of Justice; 99 New York Avenue NE, Washington, DC 20226; 
(202) 648-7120.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each material listed, as well as all 
mixtures containing any of these materials, constitute ``explosive 
materials'' under 18 U.S.C. 841(c). Materials constituting blasting 
agents are marked by an asterisk. While the list is comprehensive, it 
is not all-inclusive. 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 definition in 18 U.S.C. 841. Explosive 
materials are listed alphabetically and, where applicable, followed by 
their common names, chemical names, and/or synonyms in brackets.
    This list supersedes the List of Explosive Materials published in 
the Federal Register on November 16, 2016 (Docket No. 2016R-02, 81 FR 
80684).
