OK, you've posted a legal "definition" of explosive that defies the technical definition. How about some information on the rest of what is implied in your post's title?

I'd like to read more about what you're mentioning in your title. On the face of it, OSHA doesn't have that kind of authority.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

My definition of explosives is probably the same as yours.(only less verbose)

John, some people just make rules without understanding the implications.

Looks like DOT got it from BATFE, which has a vested interest in classifying as many things as possible as explosives, so it has more things to regulate.

Just ask any fire fighter what scares the bejeezus out of them, and they'll tell you than ammunition (and rocket motors, professor) are not even on the list, let alone high on the list.

Every fire fighter with an iota of training knows that ammunition is no more dangerous during transit than a container of popcorn. All these new definitions/regulations are going to do is raise the price paid by people who have ammunition shipped to them. I've been one in the past, but depending on how this affects price, rather how much it raises the price, will determine whether or not I continue to do so.

Ammunition is nearly harmless in a fire, and unless it is chambered all you get is a small pop.

not projectiles flying at high speeds

Blackpowder is an exception to this rule

smokeless powder is only going to burn and that is all.

we agree on this, it was merely a comment

Just another way to drive up prices so ONLY THE RIGHT PEOPLE, have these things.

because us commoners should not shoot or reload our own ammo.

I am not disagreeing with you, or Warped.
