Do we know which legislators are on key committees that deal with these
regulations? I deal with healthcare regulations and we often need to
mobilize providers to oppose unnecessary or harmful regulations.
Identifying the individuals most closely associated with the issue and
flooding them with correspondence is a necessary step.
Even though the regulatory agency has certain authority, getting to key
legislators early can have an influence.
Is the regulatory agency makes the change it's usually too late, or at a
minimum, the fix becomes a much more expensive and costly process
possibly involving legal action which often is simply too expensive to
pursue.
If we have specific individuals we should write letters.
How is Tripoli and NAR participating in this?

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 <mailto: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.
