The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published in the Federal Register in early August the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for the creation of the Ammonium Nitrate Security Program as part of the department's ongoing efforts to secure potentially dangerous chemicals. "In today's ever-evolving threat environment, we must continually rein- . force the security of substances, such as ammonium nitrate, which can be used for legitimate purposes or exploited by terrorists," explains DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.
