According to the article below, the ATF has reclassified wetted nitrocellulose as explosive materials under federal laws.

I am not sure I fully understand this issue, but I think it is actual news.
If I understand correctly, this is an administrative action by the executive branch of the federal government that may significantly affect manufacture of ammunition and the transport of materials for manufacturing ammunition. I believe it is unknown at this time how much real effect this change will have.
It appears this change was implemented by the ATF announcing the change in a newsletter. I'm not sure, but I think a newsletter is somewhat like a FAQ. Apparently, the change was announced in June, but is just now getting attention.
I am looking forward to opinions from more knowledgeable NES members about whether this is really news and what this change actually means.
