Explosives Fingerprinting Act

Summary

Explosives Fingerprinting Act - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit, with respect to any explosive material which does not contain an identification and a detection taggant: (1) its manufacture; (2) its transport, shipment, distribution, or receipt in interstate or foreign commerce; (3) its importation; and (4) its resale or other disposition as surplus by a department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States. Makes such provisions inapplicable to any such material designated by the President for use by the Department of Defense or another Government agency for national defense or international security purposes. Sets penalties for violations. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to: (1) defer one or more of specified effective dates provided for in this Act one year at a time until the Secretary is satisfied that identification and detection taggants are available in sufficient quantity for commercial purposes, will not impair the quality of explosive materials for their intended use, and will not adversely affect the environment; and (2) inform the Congress before making any such deferrals.
