Professional fireworks can now be approved by private agencies, not just the government

The US government wants to let private companies approve more types of professional fireworks. This means fewer fireworks will need direct government approval, speeding up the process for manufacturers.

For years, the government directly approved most professional fireworks, which was a slow process. This change means private agencies can now handle a wider range of these approvals. It shifts some of the regulatory burden from the government to these private certification agencies.
