This has been on the Federal Register since 13 April but apparently it's slipped under the radar of the NRA-ILA! As of yesterday THEY didn't have a clue this was coming down! What's it mean? Simply that the 'liberal bureaucrats' intend to stop us from receiving shipments of components through our regular sources of UPS/Fedex, etc.! If implemented...it will mean the end of the shooting sports! Due to the lateness of this being discovered, end time for COMMENTS to OSHA is 12 July 2007! If you folks wish to continue to receive shipments of powder/primers from UPS/Fedex, etc. it would be advisable to start contacting your Reps in the US Congress IMMEDIATELY IF NOT SOONER!

For the reasons set forth in the preamble, OSHA proposes to amend Part 1910 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations as follows:

PART 1910--[AMENDED]

(i) The term ``explosive'' includes all material included as a Class 1 explosive by DOT in accordance with 49 CFR chapter I. The term includes, but is not limited to, dynamite, black powder, pellet powders, detonators, blasting agents, initiating explosives, blasting caps, safety fuse, fuse lighters, fuse igniters, squibs, cordeau detonant fuse, instantaneous fuse, igniter cord, igniters, pyrotechnics, special industrial explosive materials, small arms ammunition, small arms ammunition primers, smokeless propellant (Ammo and Smokeless powder are now upgraded in hazard designation to the same as real explosives like det' chord and dynamite)

(c) General provisions. (1) Explosives hazards. The employer shall ensure the following:

(ii) Only persons trained in accordance with paragraph (j) of this section handle or use explosives;

(This means the UPS guy can not transport them)

(3) Fire and Explosion Prevention. (i) The employer shall ensure

(c) No person carries firearms, ammunition, or similar articles in
facilities containing explosives or blast sites except as required for work duties; and

( Bye-Bye indoor shooting range, in a gun shop it is impossible by this)

(iii) Explosives are not transferred from one vehicle to another without informing local fire and police departments. A competent person shall supervise the transfer of explosives. In the event of breakdown or collision, the local fire and police departments shall be promptly notified;

(A) Is able to safely carry the designated load;
(B) Has close-fitting floors; and
(c) Has wood or other non-sparking materials covering any exposed spark-producing metal on the inside of the vehicle body.

(That does not sound like a UPS truck)

(c) Except under emergency conditions, no vehicle containing explosives is parked before reaching its destination on any public street adjacent to or in close proximity to any place of employment;

(The UPS guy can not leave his truck to deliver other stuff)

(2) Small arms ammunition. The employer shall ensure that small arms ammunition is separated from flammable liquids, flammable solids, and oxidizing materials, by a fire barrier wall with at least a 1-hour rating or by a distance of at least 25 feet (7.6 m).

(A gun shop cannot do this)

(3) Smokeless propellants. (i) The employer shall ensure that:
(A) All smokeless propellants are stored in shipping containers in accordance with DOT regulations at 49 CFR part 173 for smokeless propellants; and
(B) No more than 20 pounds (9.1 kg) of smokeless propellants, in containers not to exceed 1 pound (.45 kg), are displayed in a commercial establishment.
(ii) For commercial stocks of smokeless propellants, the employer shall ensure the following:
