CCommittee Meetings
The Committee on Smokeless and Black Powder held two information-gathering meetings during which it solicited presentations from various stakeholder groups, including law enforcement, powder user and manufacturer groups, taggant vendors, and detection experts. The committee also received written information from interested parties throughout its term of operation. In addition to holding open meetings, the committee made site visits to relevant manufacturers and law enforcement laboratories, as well as to a propellant distributor. Two meetings of the committee were devoted to analysis of information and writing of the final report.
