Magazine Storage Agreement

[FBlaster]

I have my interview next week and the last thing I'm working on is written agreement from property owner to store the magazine on their land which they have agreed to. It will be a mobile/portable type IV magazine.

Just was wondering if anyone had a template or sample that they could send me to make sure I cover everything needed. Thank you!

If you are applying for the ATF Fireworks license and working on a magazine at the same time, the ATF Inspector will educate you on what is needed. Just a thought off the top of my head would be to make the letter from the property owner as inclusive as possible, similar to rental agreement i.e length of the agreement , access to the magazine , copy of the property owners drivers license to prove he lives there etc. The more details of ownership and terms outlining how many magazines etc. the better. I don't know your situation but the usual route is to get the ATF Fireworks license first through a contingency agreement and then pursue your own storage magazine if needed. You can however do both simultaneously but it takes a little more work on your behalf and the ATF's behalf. Don't volunteer questions AND answers. For example don't say "Should I get the letter notarized" . Let them you what they want. Let us know how it goes.

Here is the test of what I used for my explosives business. The ATF accepted it. They told me they wanted to see that I had legal access to the property in writing, and that the owner of the land is aware of what is being stored/used there.

I do have a contingency agreement currently. Just happened to purchase the trailer after I had sent my info off. The ATF has reached out to me and they are fine with everything that I'm doing, just want that written agreement where I'm storing the trailer.

Archlight, this is exactly what I was asking for. I had something typed up very similar to this, just didn't have terms in length. I will add this to mine. Thank you for your response.

I recommend adding the "will renew automatically" language. Otherwise, they will want to see a new lease agreement at every renewal inspection. I did not notarize mine and they just accepted it. I don't remember if they contacted the landowner, but they certainly could if they wished.
