{"abstract":"This proposed rule would implement anti-terrorism measures to better secure the homeland. The Department of Homeland Security would regulate the sale and transfer of ammonium nitrate pursuant to section 563 of the Fiscal Year 2008 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act with the purpose of preventing the use of ammonium nitrate in an act of terrorism. This proposed rule seeks comment on both proposed text for such a regulation and on several practical and legal issues integral to the development of an Ammonium Nitrate Security Program.","action":"Proposed rule; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY","name":"Homeland Security Department","id":227,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/homeland-security-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/227","parent_id":null,"slug":"homeland-security-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of the Secretary"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2011/08/03/2011-19313.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":31,"title":6}],"citation":"76 FR 46908","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2011-12-01","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments and related material must either be submitted to our online docket via http://www.regulations.gov on or before December 1, 2011 or reach the Docket Management Facility by that date.
