Recommendations

Develop and implement a process to ensure that an authorized FS regional official reviews permittee-owned magazines and performs an annual inspection.

Amend current requirements to provide minimum standards for locks and keys that include a definite timeframe for replacement.

Update guidance requiring blasters to accurately document, track, and secure keys used to access explosives magazines.

Develop and implement a process to verify that 7-day and annual inspections are performed for both FS-owned and permittee-owned magazines.
