From page 173...
... The study will consider the viability of adding tracer elements to explosives for the purpose of detection, the viability of adding tracer elements to explosives for the purpose of identification, the feasibility and practicability of rendering inert common chemicals used to manufacture explosives materials, and the feasibility and practicability of imposing controls on certain precursor chemicals used to manufacture explosive materials. The study will focus on issues in science and technology, with the goal of framing the issues for furnishing a report that provides a clear description of the technical options that exist.
From page 174...
... Materials recommended for inclusion as detection elements shall not substantially impair the quality and reliability of ex plosives for their intended lawful use. At least three organiza tions that are capable of conducting testing to validate the study fundings shall be identified.
From page 175...
... The purpose of this task is to explore and define methods, materials and technologies that have been used in the United States and internationally to render common explosives chemicals inert or less explosive, explore and define methods, materials and technologies available today to render common explosives chemicals inert or less explosive, as well as explore and define materials and technologies that are in a research and development phase that might be utilized to render common explosives chemicals inert or less explosive. Subtask 3.1 The study shall identify, prioritize and establish a list of chemicals to be known as common explosive chemicals, in order of the most widely used in illegal explosives to the least widely used.
From page 176...
... The study shall analyze benefits and compare the benefits ex pected from implementing enhanced controls to the costs, both increased manufacturing costs as well as increased costs at the retail level, associated with imposing increased controls on pre cursor chemicals. Subtask 4.6.
