Greetings all,

Although the L&I - Explosives Division is likely as thrilled as we are with
the NAR/TRA vs BATFE ruling yesterday, L&I regulations are treated as state
law and any changes have to be passed before the legislature.  

The L&I tells me that they will take next steps after hearing confirmation
from the ATF on what the ATF position is on the decision.  That is to say,
if the ATF acknowledges Judge Walton's ruling as most think they will, the
ATF will notify the L&I that they no longer have APCP on their low
explosives list.  The Explosives Division will pass on the ATF declaration
to a review board of the L&I, the board will ask for recommendations from
the Explosives Division, Explosives will respond favorably and the
legislative change process will begin.

If the ATF acknowledges the ruling to be immediate as we all do, that
communication should come fairly quickly; the State and ATF are in daily
contact.

Until then, the current state law regarding permitting remains as is.

FYI.

Regards,

Kent Newman
