Model Forum / General / Rockets / July 2007Homeland Security and rockets
I recently checked the web site for the Institute of Makers of Explosives and found a news item on new regulations by the Department of Homeland Security. It seems that someone slipped a new law in with an appropriations bill giving them the authority to regulate certain chemical facilities. A quick look at their web site reveals something that could be of concern to rocket motor manufacturers. If you have more than 2,000 pounds of ammonium perchlorate, you will have to at the least fill out a screening questionnaire. http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/chemsec_csattopscreenquestions.pdf http://www.dhs.gov/xprevprot/programs/gc_1181765846511.shtm and the interim final rule: http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20071800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/200 7/pdf/E7-6363.pdf  SignatureDavid W.

What is interesting is that APCP is not on the list. I guess the Dept. of Homeland Security is not concerned if terrorists get their hands on it. Just the opposite position of the ATFE. I wonder if that could be used in the lawsuit to help the case.

I thought it was interesting that the list did not include APCP. I guess the Dept. of Homeland Security is not concerned about terrorists getting their hands on it. Too bad, the ATFE does not share the same opinion, but then, that would call for rational throught from the ATFE, so forget that. John Wickman >> I recently checked the web site for the Institute of Makers of >> Explosives and found a news item on new regulations by the Department [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > John Wickman The list isn't final yet. The IME web site has this to say: "Will I have to submit through CSAT? Probably. If you have a chemical listed in Appendix A above the threshold quantity, you need to complete CSAT. Although many explosives sites do not have chemicals listed in the latest draft of Appendix A that was released to the public (mixtures such as ANFO and dynamite and devices such as detonators are not on the list), IME believes that the final Appendix A will include; 1) mixtures of Appendix A chemicals that have virtually the same properties as the pure chemical; and 2) devices that contain Appendix A chemicals that can be a weapon themselves or the chemical can be easily extracted from the device."
