It sounds to me like this act only applies to explosives. Is HTP an explosive? I don't think so; it may decompose rapidly, but your vehicle shouldn't, and isn't intended to, explode. I mean, it doesn't apply to car gas tanks does it(?), and they can explode if they have a mishap so how are you different?

Folks, We're going to have a problem flying KISS beta after 5/24/2003. That's when the Safe Explosives Act takes effect. SEA never made it out of committee this spring, but it just passed as part of the Homeland Security Act. SEA requires all users of explosives, wherever they are and whatever their motives, to have permits. Permits have always required explosives magazines. We don't have an explosives magazine; we've never needed one, for the perfectly good reason - which has not changed - that we don't store explosives.Here's part of my post to aRocket on the subject.I've now compared the old text of 18 USC 842 to the revisions under the SEA. I rescind anything good I said about it. The exemption allowing sale within a state is gone. The exemption allowing sale and transport to a contiguous state is gone. All references to "in commerce" are gone. There is a new requirement that storage magazines must be inspected or verified by other means by ATFE before a permit is issued (this requirement is waived for a limited permit if ATFE has verified it by inspection within the last three years). The processing period has doubled, from 45 days to 90 days. Existing permits remain in effect until they are renewed, revoked, or expire. These changes take effect on 5/24/2003. Looks like ATF Form 5400 can be used to apply for a limited permit. Most end users don't have storage magazines - never needed them - so I predict a sharp decrease in high power rocketry next May.
