Which federal agency is NOT listed among those regulating explosives?

• A. Environmental Protection Agency
• B. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
• C. Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• D. United States Department of Transportation

Answer: (A)

Explosives are regulated by agencies that focus on safety, licensing, and transportation of explosive materials. The agency that licenses, enforces, and inspects explosives—covering manufacturing, storage, and distribution—plays a central role in regulating explosives. The agency that oversees the safe transport of explosives under hazardous materials rules ensures proper packaging, labeling, and shipping procedures. The agency that enforces worker safety in places where explosives are used or stored sets standards to protect employees. While the Environmental Protection Agency handles environmental concerns, it does not regulate explosives themselves. So, the Environmental Protection Agency is not among the agencies responsible for regulating explosives.
