Atf E Form 5400 28 PDF Details

The ATF E 5400.28 form, issued by the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), is a critical document required for employees who must possess explosive materials as part of their responsibilities in federally licensed or permitted explosives businesses or operations. This Employee Possessor Questionnaire is mandated under the "Safe Explosives Act of 2002," aiming to prevent certain individuals from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing explosive materials by evaluating their eligibility through specific criteria. The form encompasses detailed personal information, including citizenship, criminal history, substance abuse, mental health status, and military discharge information, to assess the potential risks associated with granting an individual the authority to handle explosive materials. Additionally, it outlines procedural steps for submission and the potential consequences of non-compliance or providing false information under perjury penalties. The ATF uses the information collected to ensure that explosives do not fall into the hands of those who might pose a threat to public safety. As a measure to safeguard this sensitive process, the form also includes guidelines for requesting relief from Federal explosives disabilities, alongside the necessary steps for those deemed ineligible to seek restoration of their explosives privileges. This comprehensive process underscores the ATF's commitment to enforcing regulations that maintain the safety and security of explosive materials handling within the United States.

Instructions

1.Who must fill out and complete this form? EACH employee possessor, as defined below, MUST personally complete this questionnaire form and certify that the answers are true, correct, and complete.

2.To whom do I submit this form? You must complete and submit this form to your employer (applicant for license/permit). The employer will submit this form, along with the application, to ATF. If this form is being submitted AFTER a license or permit has been issued in order to ADD you as an employee possessor, then the form must be accompanied by a signed letter from the licensee or permittee requesting that you be added as an employee possessor. In such instance, the form should be sent to: ATF, National Licensing Center, 2600 Century Parkway NE, Suite 400, Atlanta, GA 30345.

3.Why is this form required? 18 U.S.C., Chapter 40, was amended by the 'Safe Explosives Act of 2002' (the Act). The Act made it unlawful for certain persons to ship, transport, receive, or possess explosive materials. The Act also made it unlawful to distribute explosive materials to certain persons. Information you provide on this form will allow ATF to determine whether you, an employee possessor in the explosives business or operations, are prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing explosive materials. 18 U.S.C. 842(d), (i).

4.Should documentation be attached to clarify a response to a question or item? Providing additional documentation to clarify a response to a specific question or item on the front of this form could help prevent a delay in processing your Employer Possessor Questionnaire. Please ensure that your name is on any attached documents(s). In addition, if your employer is renewing a Federal explosives license or permit, ensure that the employer's current license or permit number is on any attached documents.

5.How do I obtain additional forms? The form can be downloaded from ATF's website in Adobe PDF format at www.atf.gov/forms/index.htm. The form can be ordered using ATF's Online Distribution Center Order Form at www.atf.gov/dcof/index.htm. The form can also be ordered by calling ATF's Distribution Center at (703) 455-7801.

6.What do I do if I am prohibited from possessing explosives as indicated above? If you are prohibited from possessing explosives, you may request relief from your Federal explosives disability by filing an ATF Form 5400.29, Application for Restoration of Explosives Privileges. This form can be downloaded from ATF's website at www.atf.gov/forms/index.htm or may be obtained by calling (202) 927-2260/2310. Please be advised that you cannot possess explosives until such time that relief may be granted. For example, if you are a nonimmigrant alien, you should answer "yes" to question 25, and you are prohibited from possessing explosives. You may file a relief application, but you cannot possess explosives until such time that ATF may grant you relief.

7.Need assistance in completing the form? Please review information online concerning this form at www.atf.gov, contact the National Licensing Center at (404) 417-2750, or contact your local ATF office.

Definitions

1.Under Indictment or Information or Convicted in Any Court. An indictment, information, or conviction in any Federal, State, local, or foreign court.

2.Employee Possessor. An employee possessor is an individual who has actual or constructive possession of explosive materials during the course of his employment. Actual possession exists when a person is

in immediate possession or control of explosive materials (e.g., an employee who physically handles explosive materials as part of the production process; an employee who handles explosive materials in order to ship, transport, or sell them; or an employee such as a blaster, who actually uses explosive materials).

Constructive possession exists when an employee lacks direct physical control over explosive materials, but knowingly has the power and intention to exercise dominion and control over the explosive materials, either directly or indirectly through others (e.g., an employee at a construction site who keeps keys for magazines in which explosive materials are stored, or who directs the use of explosive materials by other employees; or an employee transporting explosive materials from a licensee to a purchaser).

3.Alien. An alien in the United States means any person who is not a citizen or national of the United States.

Exceptions

1.A person who has been convicted of a felony, or any other crime, for which the judge could have imprisoned the person for more than one year, is not prohibited from shipping, transporting, possessing, or receiving explosives if: (1) the conviction was properly invalidated by a court on the basis that the conviction was unconstitutional; (2) in the case of a Federal conviction, the person received a Presidential pardon; or (3) ATF granted relief from Federal explosives disabilities under 18 U.S.C. 845(b), 27 CFR 555.142.

2.For purposes of this form, aliens can be employee possessors if they are lawful permanent residents. 18 U.S.C. 842(d)(7); (i)(5).

Finally, the information may be disclosed to members of the public in order to verify the information on the questionnaire when such disclosure is not prohibited by law.
