[RocketsNW] PSP's requirements for AP purchase?

[Bill Munds]

Aaron, and all, It has been explained to us (PSP) from an employee of L&I in the office and their Field Inspector (our local inspector, Geri Woods) that a purchaser's permit would be required to purchase low explosives in the state of Washington.  That being said, it depends on who you talk to.  Renette, who is now retired, told us purchasers would need a purchaser permit as well.  I have yet to talk with Mason Reiter about this but will clarify it with him personally and report back to the list and the Washington State flyers.   Prior conversations with folks at L&I could have been directed to a dealers question rather than a customer or end user.  Any dealer that is in the business wants to follow appropriate regulations.  Those regulations seem to be interpreted by the person answering the question.  Everyone has an opinion, and it is always to be taken as an opinion unless the person answering the question can point it out in the Orange Book/ Red Book (Federal /Wa State).   If you remember Aaron, at the Oct launch, when you asked the question......I referred you to Mason and told you we were interested in his answer.  I will confirm your conversation with Mason after I talk with him this week. It's my contention that if an LEUP with storage or contingent storage by the BATFE is good enough, State should defer to them.  Seems some states feel that they need a bit more control over use of anything that is called an explosive.  There is a bit of sense to them protecting the public from idiots.  Off the Record, L&I isn't real concerned about APCP.  On the record they do have some concerns about tracking and use more for safety reasons.   As it stands now for us, if you have an LEUP you are good to purchase and use.  It's up to you to follow thru with contingent storage if that is the route you go.  There are a number of flyers that we service that have contingent storage. I think it might be a possible addition to a club meeting to have Mason Reiter as a Guest Speaker at a club meeting so everyone can be relaxed about what is required and what is not.  I'll ask him him if that would be something he would consider when I talk to him. Your mileage may vary,Bill at PSP

I am now being told that PSP requires a purchaser license from L&I to purchase motors. Any truth to that or will I be able to fly being only in the possession of a contignet LEUP and with or without my contingent LEUP buddy on site?ThanksAaron Fogg
