Boston To: ATF Non-permittees Date: December 3, 2002 Re: What you need to know about obtaining an ATF User Permit Beginning May 24, 2003, you will no longer be able to operate your business using the ATF Nonpermittee status. Your options will be: 1. Obtain a 3-year user permit. This is an unlimited permit that applies to all of your operations in the USA. 2. Obtain a limited permit. This permit will only allow you 6 receipts of explosives per year from a licensed in-state explosives licensee or permittee. 3. Cease explosives operations and contract that part of your business to a licensed third-party company. 4. Cease explosives operations. In our opinion, option #1 is the best option, and OCS is ready to help you obtain the permit. Our fee of $500 includes preparation of the application, submission of the application to ATF, payment of the permit fee, and renewal notification (in three years). To get started, we need the following from you: 1. A completed and signed power of attorney agreement.
