Fireworks require new permits
By Sara Strain
The Daily Iowan (U. Iowa)
IOWA CriY, Iowa — A new federal
requirement on fireworks could leave
some Fourth of July celebrations with
fewer "oohs" and "ahhs."
Effective May 24, anyone who pur
chases or shoots off fireworks must
have a permit from the Bureau of Al
cohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explo
sives. The requirement is part of the
Safe Explosives Act, signed into law by
President Bush in November 2002.
The law requires individuals buy
ing and shooting fireworks to fill out
an application, submit a photograph
and fingerprints, and undergo a per
sonal interview with bureau agents.
The application costs $25.
The permit is valid for one year
and allows the holder to buy fire
works six times within that year.
However, the fireworks must be
bought within the state of residence
for the permit holder. The penalty for
people convicted of possessing the
devices without a permit is up to 10
years in prison and a fine.
The law does not affect what the
bureau calls consumer fireworks,
such as firecrackers and sparklers,
said Senior Special Agent Larry Scott.
He added that the permit does not
allow the holder to purchase fire
works or explosives normally illegal
in the state.
"They need to check with state and
local laws and regulations," he said.
The law also exempts cities or
other government groups from the
requirement.
The law gives the bureau up to 90
days to process applications, but,
Scott said, the agency is working to
process applications quickly in time
for the Fourth of July.
Scott said the problem with the
new law is that people looking to
shoot fireworks only once a year have
been caught unaware of the new gov
ernment permit. The bureau's Kansas
City office sent out news releases in
April, he said, and many groups in
volved in fireworks were already
aware, but news to one-time shooters
has been spread by word of mouth.
Scott warned that because people
are just finding out about the require
ment, time is running short for the
application process to be completed
in time for the Fourth of July.
"The main thing now is the time is
getting so critical, * he said.

Romano Prodi, the president of the
European Commission, the EU's gov
erning arm. "If we fail to unite, every
problem may become a crisis and
every enemy a gigantic monster."
Bush tried humor to defuse ten
sion over one sore point, the EU's
ban on genetically altered food. After
meeting with his guests in the Oval
Office, Bush joked, "Let's go eat some
genetically modified food for lunch."
Despite the cordial atmosphere; Pro
di couldn't resist a dig at Defense Sec
retary Donald Rumsfeld, who angered
European allies by dismissing antiwar
sentiment as "Old Europe" thinking.
"Many people have said that Eu
rope is too old. Maybe, but the old
age helps us to understand our
strengths and our weaknesses and the
reality of the world, * Prodi said.
Bush urged the European leaders
to join his effort to cut off funding for
the militant Islamic group Hamas.
Although the United States has long
branded Hamas a terrorist group,
France considers it a legitimate politi
cal and charitable organization.
Appearing with his European
guests, the president expressed skep
ticism about reports that Hamas is
ready to declare a moratorium on ter
rorist attacks against Israel.
"I'll believe it when I see it," Bush
said, echoing Israeli statements. "In or
der for there to be peace (in the Middle
East), Hamas must be dismantled."
