Is wetted nitrocellulose reportable as a COI, i.e., as nitrocellulose?
The only explosives included in Appendix A as Chemicals of Interest are those listed as Department of Transportation (DOT) Division 1.1 Explosives (see FAQ 1383). If wetted nitrocellulose is a DOT Division 4.1 Flammable Solid, this material would not be covered by Appendix A. However, should nitrocellulose ever be possessed as a DOT Division 1.1 Explosive, a Top-Screen must be submitted within 60 days of the date of possession. See 6 CFR ยง 27.210 (a)(1)(i).
