Things may have seemed very silent for the last couple of weeks, but that has been due to a great deal of work going on with Senate staffers on finishing the rocketry exemption bill. This has involved a lot of work to ensure the transportation problems are solved by the bill as well as the ATF permit/license problem. Senate staffers have been working with various transportation companies like UPS to make sure we solve the transportation problem with the bill. All interested parties have seen draft copies of the bill, commented on the bill and in some cases made recommendations for improvements. This includes ARSA, TRA, NAR, ATF, UPS, Justice Department and others.

It is expected that the bill will have several Senators cosponsoring the bill when it is introduced to the Senate. The bill should be introduced very, very soon.

We have received numerous emails for people to be on this email list. We are working as fast as we can to get those people on this list.
