it appears to me, (and I may be wrong), that under NFPA 1 a state permit is required to be issued by the state(AHJ) if you want to be engaged in:
1-12.16 Permits shall be required in accordance with Table 1.12.16.
- High-Powered Rocketry
The manufacturing, sale and use of high powered rocketry.
- Rocketry Manufacturing
The manufacturing of model rocket
motors.
There doesn't seem to be any state permit requirements for sales or use of model rocketry products

Heres what NFPA 1 says about permits:
1-12 Permits and Approvals.
1-12.1 The authority having jurisdiction shall be authorized to establish
and issue permits, certificates, notices, approvals, or orders pertaining to fire
control and fire hazards pursuant to Section 1.12.
1-12.2 The authority having jurisdiction shall be permitted to revoke or
suspend a permit or approval issued if any violation of this Code is found
upon inspection or in case any false statements or misrepresentations have
been submitted in the application or plans on which the permit or approval
was based.
1-12.3 Any attempt to defraud or otherwise deliberately or knowingly
design; install; service; maintain; operate; sell; represent for sale; falsify
records, reports, or applications; or other related activity in violation of
the requirements prescribed by this Code shall be a violation of this Code.
Such violations shall be cause for immediate suspension or revocation of
any related licenses, certificates, or permits issued by this jurisdiction. In
addition, any such violation shall be subject to any other criminal or civil
penalties as available by the laws of this jurisdiction.
1-12.4 Revocation or suspension shall be constituted when the permittee is
duly notified by the authority having jurisdiction.
1-12.5 Any person who engages in any business, operation, or occupation,
or uses any premises, after the permit issued therefore has been suspended or
revoked pursuant to the provisions of this Code, and before such suspended
permit has been reinstated or a new permit issued, shall be in violation of
this Code.
1-12.6 A permit shall be predicated upon compliance with the requirements
of this Code and shall constitute written authority issued by the authority
having jurisdiction to maintain, store, use, or handle materials, or to conduct
processes that could produce conditions hazardous to life or property, or
to install equipment used in connection with such activities. Any permit
issued under this Code shall not take the place of any other license or permit

those other agencies.
1-12.7 The authority having jurisdiction shall have the authority to require
an inspection prior to the issuance of a permit.
1-12.8 A permit issued under this Code shall continue until revoked or for
the period of time designated on the permit. The permit shall be issued to
one person or business only and for the location or purpose described in
the permit. Any change that affects any of the conditions of the permit shall
require a new or amended permit.
1-12.9 The authority having jurisdiction shall have the authority to grant
an extension of the permit time period upon presentation by the permittee
of a satisfactory reason for failure to start or complete the work or activity
authorized by the permit.
1-12.10 Applications for permits shall be made to the authority having

1-12.11 The authority having jurisdiction shall review all applications
submitted and issue permits as required. If an application for a permit is
rejected by the authority having jurisdiction, the applicant shall be advised
of the reasons for such rejection. Permits for activities requiring evidence of
financial responsibility by the jurisdiction shall not be issued unless proof of
required financial responsibility is furnished.
1-12.12 A copy of the permit shall be posted or otherwise readily accessible
at each place of operation and shall be subject to inspection as specified by
the authority having jurisdiction.
1-12.13 Any activity authorized by any permit issued under this Code shall
be conducted by the permittee or the permittee's agents or employees in
compliance with all requirements of this Code applicable thereto and in
accordance with the approved plans and specifications. No permit issued
under this Code shall be interpreted to justify a violation of any provision
of this Code or any other applicable law or regulation. Any addition or
alteration of approved plans or specifications shall be approved in advance
by the authority having jurisdiction, as evidenced by the issuance of a new
or amended permit.
1-12.14* Permits shall be issued by the authority having jurisdiction and
shall bear the name and signature of the authority having jurisdiction or that

the permit shall indicate the following:

1-12.15 Any application for, or acceptance of, any permit requested or
issued pursuant to this Code shall constitute agreement and consent by the
person making the application or accepting the permit to allow the authority
having jurisdiction to enter the premises at any reasonable time to conduct
such inspections as required by this Code.
SO If I want to do HPR in KY it appears that I should be getting myself some form of "state permit" to do HPR in KY...
IS that the way you read this?
