Limited permittees must complete the required forms and affix valid Intrastate Purchase of Explosives Coupons (IPECs) to the transaction reports in order to lawfully acquire explosive materials. Failure to provide the required information may result in denial of the transaction, revocation of the permit, or civil or criminal penalties under federal law.
