Abstract
This temporary rule implements certain provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104- 132). These regulations implement the law by requiring detection agents for plastic explosives. The temporary rule also authorizes the use of four specific detection agents to mark plastic explosives and provides for the designation of other detection agents. The temporary rule will remain in effect until superseded by final regulations. In the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register, ATF is also issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking inviting comments on the temporary rule for a 90-day period following the publication date of this temporary rule.
