Bomb Threat and Suspicious Package Publication: While you or your business might never receive a bomb threat or encounter a suspicious package or object, ATF wishes to prepare you by stressing the importance of how you respond to these situations when they do occur. ATF has issued a new safety pamphlet, ATF P 5400.26, Suspicious Packages and Bomb Threats which provides information on suspicious package indicators; recommendations for dealing with suspicious packages and bomb threats; and a checklist for recording bomb threat information.
Transfer of Unmarked Explosive Materials: ATF has recently received inquiries from fireworks industry members who are going out of business and are in possession of unmarked explosive materials. These materials were not marked, because they were imported for use by the importer. The regulation at 27 CFR § 555.109 requires licensed explosives importers to place certain marks of identification on all explosive materials for sale or distribution within 15 days after the release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s custody.
