The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking comments on a recent amendment to the Homeland Security Act entitled "Secure Handling of Ammonium Nitrate". The amendment requires the DHS to ''regulate the sale and transfer of ammonium nitrate by an ammonium nitrate facility...to prevent the misappropriation or use of ammonium nitrate in an act of terrorism.'
Ammonium nitrate is also regulated as a Section 313 Water Priority Chemical, and may have additional control and security requirements under the Clean Water Act [Read more about requirements for Section 313 chemicals]
