Note:
The manufacturer has contacted Tripoli for an explanation and 
none has been received from 6-98 when it was first announced 
the motors were decertified as of 11-97.  A formal request was 
made for recertification pending a hearing.  A formal request 
was made for renewal certification of all motors affected by 
this arbitrary decertification.  All contacts were refused or 
ignored.

U.S. Rockets works with other companies in motor manufacturing 
and all of these other companies received similar treatment.  No 
progress has been made despite constant effort by U.S. Rockets 
during this time period.  

During this time period another manufacturer (Kosdon Enterprises, 
Ventura, CA) who never received a manufacturing permit has 
remained on the certified list despite TMT rules specifically 
stating, "The applicant must also provide TMT with a copy of a 
BATF Low Explosive Manufacturer's license prior to acceptance 
of motors for testing. This requirement is by Tripoli Board 
motion and vote on 23 January 1994." That manufacturer's 
facility is in the kitchen and garage of a residential home 
in a populated suburb where he has been officially notified 
his activities are illegal and in violation of building codes.
TRA is aware of all these facts.

In addition Kosdon has a written non-compete contract with USR
it has violated, also a fact TRA is aware of and continues to
allow the motors to be represented as certified, in some cases
as in a post-certification period, and in some cases as commercial
EX (experimental) motors.  All from the same illegal residential
manufacturing facility in Ventura, CA.
