Just received the following from the BATFE. It even states, in the email, that the list has not changed from 2019:

Commerce in Explosives: 2020 Annual List of Explosive Materials

Publication Date: December 23, 2020
Effective Date: December 23, 2020
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 841(d) and 27 CFR 555.23, ATF must publish and revise at least annually in the Federal Register a list of explosives determined to be within the coverage of 18 U.S.C. 841 et seq. The list covers not only explosives, but also blasting agents and detonators, all of which are defined as explosive materials in 18 U.S.C. 841(c).
The 2020 list is the same as the 2019 list published by ATF.

Thanks for posting. Every time I look at that list I think of a movie I watched as a kid. The movie "Mr. Roberts" and him ( Jack Lemon) making a firecracker out of Fulminate of Mercury (on the list) . I remember even back that then thinking I have to get some of that for a firecracker. Great movie . I found a clip of that part of the movie.

Hahahahaha..."...there is a new hole in the port side...". Yep, that will happen with a firecracker that big.
