(a) The Attorney General is authorized to inspect the site of
any
accident, or fire, in which there is reason to believe
that
explosive materials were involved, in order that if any
such
incident has been brought about by accidental means,
precautions
may be taken to prevent similar accidents from
occurring. In order
to carry out the purpose of this
subsection, the Attorney General
is authorized to enter into
or upon any property where explosive
materials have been
used, are suspected of having been used, or
have been found
in an otherwise unauthorized location. Nothing in
this
chapter shall be construed as modifying or otherwise affecting
in any way the investigative authority of any other Federal
agency.
In addition to any other investigatory authority
they have with
respect to violations of provisions of this
chapter, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, together with
the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives,
shall have authority to conduct
investigations with respect
to violations of subsection (d), (e),
(f), (g), (h), or (i)
of section 844 of this title.
(b) The Attorney General
is authorized to establish a national
repository of
information on incidents involving arson and the
suspected
criminal misuse of explosives. All Federal agencies
having
information concerning such incidents shall report the
information to the Attorney General pursuant to such regulations as
deemed necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.
The repository shall also contain information on incidents
voluntarily reported to the Attorney General by State and local
authorities.
