Abstract: Chapter 40 of title 18 of the United States Code (U.S.C.)
provides that no person may engage in the business of manufacturing,
importing, or dealing in explosives without first obtaining a license
to do so. In addition, the statute also requires a person who wants to
receive or transport explosives or explosive materials in interstate or
foreign commerce to first obtain a permit to do so. Licenses/permits
are issued for a specific period and are renewable upon the same
conditions as the original license/permit. In order to continue
uninterrupted in the activities covered by the license/permit when that
specific period ends, licensees/permittees must renew their license/
permit by filing a renewal application form.
