2026 Annual List of Explosive Materials
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice keeps the federal list of regulated explosive materials in force for 2026. The ATF says the list is unchanged from 2025 and becomes effective on June 22, 2026. Businesses that make, import, store, distribute, or use explosives should continue treating the listed explosives, blasting agents, and detonators as federally regulated materials. The list is comprehensive but not complete, so a material can still be regulated even if it is not named on the list.

Key Changes
- Publishes the 2026 federal list of explosive materials.
- Confirms the 2026 list is unchanged from the 2025 list.
- Clarifies that unlisted materials may still be regulated if they meet the federal definition of explosive materials.
Obligations
What this law requires
Beginning June 22, 2026, treat each material on ATF’s 2026 List of Explosive Materials, and any mixture containing any listed material, as federally regulated “explosive materials” under 18 U.S.C. 841(c).
Continue applying federal explosives controls to listed explosives, blasting agents, and detonators because ATF states the 2026 list is unchanged from the 2025 Annual List of Explosive Materials.
Do not assume a material is unregulated solely because it is not named on the 2026 list; ATF states the list is comprehensive but not all-inclusive.
