Is it? My understanding is that the only required involvement by NAR/Tripoli would be a L1 to purchase.Sparkies in smaller form factors would still be considered Class 1 (High Power) motors regardless of impulse (G75M and G72DM, for example). They could only be launched at NAR and Tripoli run launches.
Obviously you still need property owner approval to fly, fire marshal approval in CA, and checking with the FAA is always a good idea if not required outright, but I’ve never seen anything specifying that the launch of these motors must be at a NAR/Tripoli event. FAR is not a section/prefecture of either, for example.
