Dear AeroTech Product Representative:
Urgent Notice - Your Immediate Action
Is Needed, Send Your E-Mail By October
10, Help preserve your rights regarding
model rocketry.
Dear AeroTech Customer,
Many people are concerned with new government
regulations that seem destined
to limit our freedoms as well as those
that affect our hobbies. You may have
heard of some recently that affect various
hobbies.
New regulations are being considered regarding
model rocket motors.
This may not immediately impact your access
to model rocket materials but
it's just another step toward more restrictive
regulations concerning our
hobby and deserves your attention.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT)
has recently advised that they
propose to terminate a special permit
under which model rocket motors and
igniters have been shipped for the last
33 years. If the permit is
terminated model rocket motors and igniters
will no longer be able to be
shipped as "Flammable Solids"
and will instead have to be shipped as
"Explosives."
In 33 years there have been no incidents
involved in the shipping and
transporting of model rocket motors and
igniters.
The model rocket industry needs your support
in order to continue to make
our product available. Attached is a sample
e-mail that we request you send
immediately to express your support.
We believe that shipping model rocket
motors and igniters as "Explosives"
would only cause unnecessary concern for
hobby shops, educators, youth group
leaders and families using model rockets
for educational and recreational
purposes.
If you believe as we do, please send an
e-mail to the Department of
Transportation no later than October 10,
2011. To assist you, here is a sample e-mail:
--
TO: specialpermits@xxxxxxx
Subject: DOT-SP 7887 Show Cause Response
Dear Associate Administrator,
The purpose of this e-mail is to request
that DOT-SP 7887 be kept in force
as written. The Special Permit, previously
DOT-E 7887 has been in place
since 1978 and is used by many of us who
enjoy hobbies including model
rockets, motors and igniters.
To my knowledge, there has never been
an incident involving the shipping and
transporting of model rocket motors and
igniters. Further I believe that
shipping these products as "Explosives"
will create unnecessary fear and
difficulty for those handling, transporting,
receiving, storing, selling and
using these products.
After 33 years of use, the termination
of the Special Permit is unwarranted
and possibly damaging to an educational
and recreational product that has an
excellent record. In closing, I again
request the Special Permit be kept in
place as written.
- Your Name and Address

Please take a few minutes to send your
e-mail today!
Thank you very much for your support of
model rocketry.
