The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has published its annual list of federally regulated explosive materials. The list includes 237 materials, one less than a year ago.

The 2009 ATF list didn't add any new materials, and dropped ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP) as a result of a court decision in March.

The list covers not only explosives, but also blasting agents and detonators, and includes dynamite, black powder, pellet powder, safety fuses, squibs, detonating cord, display fireworks, igniter cord, and igniters.
