this section must be in the English language, using Roman letters and Arabic
numerals.

explosive materials.
(4) Licensed manufacturers and licensed importers may use any method,
or combination of methods, to affix the
required marks to the immediate container of explosive materials, or outside containers used for the packaging
thereof, provided the identifying marks

of storage.
(5) If licensed manufacturers or licensed importers desire to use a coding
system and omit printed markings on
the container that show all the required information specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this section,
they must file with ATF a letterhead
application displaying the coding that
they plan to use and explaining the
manner of its application. The Director

hinder the effective administration of
this part.
