Section 200.10  Scope and Authority

This Part implements the Illinois Explosives Act, approved August 30, 1989 (P.A. 86-364) and applies to all storage, use, acquisition, possession, disposal and transfer of explosive materials except as otherwise provided in the Act.  This Part is intended to supplement the requirements of any Federal or State law and regulations governing the storage, use, acquisition, possession, disposal and transfer of explosive materials, but shall be construed, wherever possible to avoid conflicting or duplicative requirements.  In the event of a conflict between this Part and the laws and rules enforced by agencies of the federal government including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the Mine Safety and Health Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the laws and rules enforced by agencies of the federal government shall control; provided that provisions of this Part shall not be deemed to be in conflict on the basis that they are more specific than, more stringent than or impose requirements for which no like requirements are contained in laws and rules enforced by agencies of the federal government.
