Moving an explosives storage magazine must be reported to the Office of State Fire Marshal by the owner or user who has physical possession and/or control of the magazine.
The report must be made within 24 hours of moving the magazine. Relocation of a magazine is defined as moving a magazine any distance.
The following information must be reported to the toll-free explosives hotline or email. Both federal and state regulations require companies and individuals to advise their local fire authority of explosives storage on the day it begins.
When calling the explosives hotline, include the following information about the magazine moved:
- Date magazine was moved
- Certificate of registration number or ATF number issued to magazine
- Company reporting relocation
- Person reporting relocation
- Phone number of person reporting
- Email of person reporting
- Old location of the magazine including the street address, city, state and county
- New location of magazine including the street address, city, state and county
- If changing companies or users, report the new company and users
The Office of State Fire Marshal no longer issues certificates of possession and magazine registrations.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Explosives (BATFE) will continue to regulate all laws pertaining to the acquisition, distribution, and storage of explosives.
Any individuals who do not currently possess a federal license or permit who intend to manufacture, import, distribute, or acquire explosive materials, or any individuals or businesses seeking to renew a certificate of possession or magazine registration, should contact the BATFE.
