Section 200.108  Temporary Explosives License

a)         Any person who intends to possess, use, purchase, acquire, dispose of or transfer explosive materials in Illinois on a limited basis may make application on forms provided by the Department for a temporary explosives license.  The application must be executed under penalties of perjury and accompanied by the required non-refundable fee (see Subpart D). A temporary license shall be issued only once to any individual in any continuous three-year period.  A temporary explosives license will not be issued when the applicant has any outstanding, unpaid violations with the Department.

b)         The application for temporary explosives licensure shall include the same information required for an original explosives license under Section 200.101 and in addition shall include:

1)         Evidence of a valid existing explosives license or storage permit issued by ATF, if the federal license is of a classification appropriate to the activities to be conducted under the temporary explosives license;

2)         A complete description of the activities requiring the acquisition, storage use, possession, transfer or disposal of explosive materials in Illinois, including the location and length of the project or activity;

3)         A current and valid storage certificate, if applicable to the activity, issued under Subpart C;

4)         A fingerprint-based data background check; and

5)         An attestation that the applicant meets all of the qualifications for licensure listed under Section 200.98.

c)         A temporary explosives license issued pursuant to this Section shall entitle the holder to engage only in those activities for which the explosives license was issued and shall be valid only until the activities are completed, but in any event, no more than 90 days from the date of issuance.
