DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ‘Martinsburg, WV 25405, April 2, 2018 Garden State Fireworks, Inc 901090:CRR/CMS PO Box 403 5400 Millington, NJ 07946 File Number: 8-NJ-00166 Premises Address: 383 Carlton Rd, Millington, NJ 07946 Dear Sir/Madam: This letter acknowledges receipt of your timely application to renew your Federal explosives license/permit. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is not able to process your application prior to the expiration date of your license/permit. However, Federal law allows you to continue operations under your current license/permit until such time as ATF completes processing your application. See 5 U.S.C. § 558. This letter, or as explained below, a follow-up letter, will serve as your license/permit until we complete action on your renewal. It is referred to as a Letter of Authorization (LOA). Since we have not completed processing your application, you may supply a copy of this letter to other licensees/permittees, ¢.g., your distributors, for the next six months (or until we complete action on your renewal, if that occurs in less than six months) as evidence of your licensed/permitted status. If we have not completed processing your application for renewal within six months of the date of this letter, we will send you another letter, which will also be valid for six months (or until we complete action on your renewal, if that occurs in less than six months). This is of course contingent upon your remaining entitled to continue operations under your current license/permit. Please direct questions or concerns regarding this letter to Chanon Shipman (304)616-4436. Sincerely, CBtepher b flears Christopher R.
