    Authority: 22 U.S.C. 6701 et seq.; 50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.; 50 
U.S.C. 1701 et seq; E.O. 12938 (59 FR 59099; 3 CFR, 1994 Comp., p. 
950), as amended by E.O. 13094 (63 FR 40803; 3 CFR, 1998 Comp., p. 
200); E.O. 13128, 64 FR 36703.


Sec. 713.1  Prohibition on imports of Schedule 2 chemicals from non-
States Parties.

    (a) See Sec. 711.6 of this subchapter for information on obtaining 
the forms you will need to declare and report activities involving 
Schedule 2 chemicals. You may not import any Schedule 2 chemical (see 
Supplement No. 1 to this part) on or after April 29, 2000, from

[[Page 73773]]

any destination other than a State Party to the Convention. See 
Supplement No. 1 to part 710 of this subchapter for a list of States 
that are party to the Convention.

    Note to paragraph (a). See Sec. 742.18 of the Export 
Administration Regulations (15 CFR part 742) for prohibitions that 
apply to exports of Schedule 2 chemicals on or after April 29, 2000 
to non-States Parties and for End-Use Certificate requirements for 
exports of Schedule 2 chemicals prior to April 29, 2000 to such 
destinations.

    (b) Paragraph (a) of this section does not apply to:
    (1) The transfer or receipt of a Schedule 2 chemical from a non-
State Party by a department, agency, or other entity of the United 
States, or by any person, including a member of the Armed Forces of the 
United States, who is authorized by law, or by an appropriate officer 
of the United States to transfer or receive the Schedule 2 chemical; or
    (2) Mixtures containing Schedule 2 chemicals, if the concentration 
of each Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture is 10% or less by weight. 
Note, however, that such mixtures may be subject to regulatory 
requirements of other federal agencies.


Sec. 713.2  Declaration on past production of Schedule 2 chemicals for 

chemical weapons purposes.

    You must complete the Certification Form and Forms 2-1, 2-2, 2-4, 
Form A, if you produced at your plant site any quantity of a Schedule 2 
chemical at any time since January 1, 1946, for chemical weapons 
purposes. Form B is optional. You must declare the total quantity of 
such a chemical produced, rounded to the nearest kilogram. Note that 
you are not subject to routine inspection unless you are a declared 
facility pursuant to Sec. 713.3.


Sec. 713.3  Initial and annual declaration requirements for plant sites 
that produce, process or consume Schedule 2 chemicals in excess of 
specified thresholds.

    (a) Declaration of production, processing or consumption of 
Schedule 2 chemicals for purposes not prohibited by the CWC.
    (1) Quantities of production, processing or consumption that 
trigger declaration requirements. You must complete the forms specified 
in paragraph (b) of this section if you have been or will be involved 
in the following activities:
    (i) Initial declaration. You produced, processed or consumed at one 
or more plants on your plant site during any of the calendar years 
1994, 1995, or 1996, a Schedule 2 chemical in excess of the following 
declaration threshold quantities:
    (A) 1 kilogram of chemical BZ: 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (see 
Schedule 2, paragraph A.3 included in Supplement No. 1 to this part);
    (B) 100 kilograms of chemical PFIB: 1,1,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-
2(trifluoromethyl)-1-propene or 100 kilograms of chemical Amiton: 0,0-
Diethyl S-[2-(diethylamino) ethyl] phosphorothiolate and corresponding 
alkylated or protonated salts (see Schedule 2, paragraphs A.1 and A.2 
included in Supplement No. 1 to this part); or
    (C) 1 metric ton of any chemical listed in Schedule 2, Part B (see 
Supplement No. 1 to this part).

    Note to paragraph (a)(1)(i). To determine whether you have an 
initial declaration requirement for Schedule 2 activities, you must 
determine whether you produced, processed or consumed a Schedule 2 

chemical above the applicable threshold quantity at one or more 
plants on your plant site in calendar years 1994, 1995, or 1996. For 
example, if you determine that one plant on your plant site produced 
greater than 1 kilogram of the chemical BZ in calendar year 1995, 
and no plants on your plant site produced, processed or consumed any 
Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold quantity in 
calendar years 1994 or 1996, you have an initial declaration 
requirement under this paragraph. You must submit three Forms 2-3--
one for each of the calendar years 1994, 1995, and 1996--and 
complete question 2-3.1 on each of the forms to declare production 
data on BZ for calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996. For calendar year 
1995, you would declare the quantity of BZ actually produced. For 
calendar years 1994 and 1996, you would declare ``0'' production 
quantity. Since the plant site did not engage in any other 
declarable activity (i.e., consumption, processing), you would leave 
blank questions 2-3.2 and 2-3.3 on Form 2-3 for calendar years 1994, 
1995, and 1996. Note that declaring a ``0'' quantity for production 
in 1994 and 1996, as opposed to leaving the question blank, permits 
BXA to distinguish the activity that triggered the initial 
declaration requirement for each year from activities that were not 
declarable during that period.

    (ii) Annual declaration on past activities. You produced, processed 
or consumed at one or more plants on your plant site during any of the 
previous three calendar years, a Schedule 2 chemical in excess of the 
applicable declaration threshold quantity specified in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section.

    Note to paragraph (a)(1)(ii). To determine whether you have an 
annual declaration on past activities requirement for Schedule 2 
chemicals, you must determine whether you produced, processed or 
consumed a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold 
quantity at one or more plants on your plant site in any one of the 
three previous calendar years. For example, for the 1997 declaration 
period, if you determine that one plant on your plant site produced 
greater than 1 kilogram of the chemical BZ in calendar year 1995, 
and no plants on your plant site produced, processed or consumed any 
Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold quantity in 
calendar years 1996 or 1997, you still have a declaration 
requirement under this paragraph for the previous calendar year 
(1997). However, you must only declare on Form 2-3 (question 2-3.1), 
production data for calendar year 1997. You would declare ``0'' 
production quantity because you did not produce BZ above the 
applicable threshold quantity in calendar year 1997. Since the plant 
site did not engage in any other declarable activity (i.e., 
consumption, processing) in the 1995-1997 declaration period, you 
would leave blank questions 2-3.2 and 2-3.3 on Form 2-3. Note that 
declaring a ``0'' production quantity for 1997, as opposed to 
leaving the question blank, permits BXA to distinguish the activity 
that triggered the declaration requirement from activities that were 
not declarable during that period.

    (iii) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You anticipate 
that you will produce, process or consume at one or more plants on your 
plant site during the next calendar year, starting with activities 
anticipated for calendar year 2001, a Schedule 2 chemical in excess of 
the applicable declaration threshold quantity set forth in paragraphs 
(a)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section.
    (2) Mixtures containing a Schedule 2 chemical. (i)The quantity of a 
Schedule 2 chemical contained in a mixture must be counted when 
determining the total quantity of a Schedule 2 chemical produced, 
processed, or consumed at your plant only if the concentration of the 
Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture is 30% or more by volume or by 
weight, whichever yields the lesser percent.
    (ii) Counting the amount of the Schedule 2 chemical in a mixture. 
If your mixture contains 30% or more concentration of a Schedule 2 

chemical, you must count only the amount (weight) of the Schedule 2 
chemical in the mixture, not the total weight of the mixture.
    (iii) Determining declaration requirements for production, 
processing and consumption. You must include the amount (weight) of a 
Schedule 2 chemical in a mixture when determining the total production, 
total processing, or total consumption of that Schedule 2 chemical at a 
plant on your plant site. If the total amount of the produced, 
processed or consumed Schedule 2 chemical exceeds the applicable 
declaration threshold set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) through

[[Page 73774]]

(C) of this section, you have a declaration requirement. For example, 
if during calendar year 1997, a plant on your plant site produced a 
mixture containing 300 kilograms of thiodiglycol in a concentration of 
32% and also produced 800 kilograms of thiodiglycol, that plant 
produced 1100 kilograms and exceeded the declaration threshold of 1 
metric ton for that Schedule 2 chemical. You must declare past 
production of thiodiglycol at that plant site for calendar year 1997. 
If, on the other hand, a plant on your plant site processed a mixture 
containing 300 kilograms of thiodiglycol in a concentration of 25% and 
also processed 800 kilograms of thiodiglycol in other than mixture 
form, the total amount of thiodiglycol processed at that plant for CWCR 
purposes would be 800 kilograms and would not trigger a declaration 
requirement. This is because the concentration of thiodiglycol in the 
mixture is less than 30% and therefore did not have to be ``counted'' 
and added to the other 800 kilograms of processed thiodiglycol at that 
plant.
    (b) Types of declaration forms to be used. (1) Initial declaration. 
You must complete the Certification Form and Forms 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-3A, 
and Form A if you produced, processed or consumed at one or more plants 
on your plant site a Schedule 2 chemical in excess of the applicable 
declaration threshold quantity specified in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) 
through (C) of this section during any of the three calendar years 
1994, 1995, or 1996. Form B is optional. If you are subject to initial 
declaration requirements, you must include data for each of the 
calendar years 1994, 1995, and 1996.
    (2) Annual declaration on past activities. You must complete the 
Certification Form and Forms 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-3A, and Form A if one or 
more plants on your plant site produced, processed or consumed more 
than the applicable threshold quantity of a Schedule 2 chemical 

described in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section in any 
of the three previous calendar years. Form B is optional. If you are 
subject to annual declaration requirements, you must include data for 
the previous calendar year only.
    (3) Annual declaration on anticipated activities. You must complete 
the Certification Form and Forms 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-3A, 2-3C, and Form A 
if you plan to produce, process, or consume at any plant on your plant 
site a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold quantity set 
forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section during the 
following calendar year, beginning with activities planned for calendar 
year 2001. Form B is optional.
    (c) Quantities to be declared. (1) Production, processing and 
consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical above the declaration threshold.--
(i) Initial declaration. If you are required to complete forms pursuant 
to paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, you must declare the aggregate 
quantity resulting from each type of activity (production, processing 
or consumption) from each plant on your plant site that exceeds the 
applicable threshold quantity for that Schedule 2 chemical for each of 
the calendar years 1994, 1995, and 1996. Do not aggregate amounts of 
production, processing or consumption from plants on the plant site 
that did not individually produce, process or consume a Schedule 2 
chemical in amounts greater than the applicable threshold levels. For 
those years in which you produced, processed or consumed the declared 
chemical below the declaration threshold, you declare ``0'' only for 
the declared activities.
    (ii) Annual declaration on past activities. If you are required to 
complete forms pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, you 
must declare the aggregate quantity resulting from each type of 
activity (production, processing or consumption) from each plant on 
your plant site that exceeds the applicable threshold quantity for that 
Schedule 2 chemical. Do not aggregate amounts of production, processing 
or consumption from plants on the plant site that did not individually 
produce, process or consume a Schedule 2 chemical in amounts greater 
than the applicable threshold levels. If in the previous calendar year 
you produced, processed or consumed below the declaration threshold, 
but your declaration requirement is triggered because of activities 
occurring in an earlier year, you declare ``0'' only for the declared 
activities.
    (2) Rounding. For the chemical BZ, report quantities to the nearest 
hundredth of a kilogram (10 grams). For PFIB and the Amiton family, 
report quantities to the nearest 1 kilogram. For all other Schedule 2 
chemicals, report quantities to the nearest 10 kilograms.
    (d) ``Declared'' Schedule 2 plant sites. A plant site that 
comprises at least one plant that produced, processed or consumed a 
Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold quantity set forth 
in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of this section during any of 
the previous three calendar years or is anticipated to produce, process 
or consume a Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable threshold 
quantity in the next calendar year is a ``declared'' plant site. A 
plant site that submitted an initial declaration for activities that 
occurred in 1994, 1995, or 1996 is a ``declared'' Schedule 2 plant site 
for those years.
    (e) Declared Schedule 2 plant sites subject to routine inspections. 
A ``declared'' Schedule 2 plant site is subject to initial and routine 
inspection by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons 

if it produced, processed or consumed in any of the three previous 
calendar years, or is anticipated to produce, process or consume in the 
next calendar year, in excess of ten times the applicable declaration 
threshold quantity set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i)(A) through (C) of 
this section (see part 716 of this subchapter). A plant site that 
submitted an initial declaration for calendar years 1994, 1995, and 
1996, and exceeded the applicable inspection threshold is also subject 
to an initial inspection.


Sec. 713.4  Initial and annual declaration and reporting requirements 
for exports and imports of Schedule 2 chemicals

    (a) Declarations and reports of exports and imports of Schedule 2 
chemicals.
    (1) Declarations. A Schedule 2 plant site that is declared because 
it produced, processed or consumed a Schedule 2 chemical above the 
applicable threshold quantity, and also exported from or imported to 
the plant site that same Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable 
threshold quantity, must submit export and import information as part 
of its declaration.

    Note to paragraph (a)(1): A declared Schedule 2 plant site may 
need to declare exports or imports of Schedule 2 chemicals that it 
produced, processed or consumed above the applicable threshold 
quantity and also report exports or imports of different Schedule 2 
chemicals that it did not produce, process or consume above the 
applicable threshold quantities.

    (2) Reports. A declared plant site that does not meet the 
description of paragraph (a)(1) of this section, and an undeclared 
plant site or a trading company or any other person subject to the CWCR 
must submit a report if it exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical 
above the applicable threshold quantity.

    Note to paragraph (a)(2): The U.S. Government will not submit to 
the OPCW company-specific information relating to the export or 
import of Schedule 2 chemicals contained in reports. The U.S. 
Government will add all export and import information contained in 
reports to export and import information contained in declarations 
to establish the U.S. national aggregate declaration on exports and 
imports.

    Note to paragraphs (a)(1) and (2): Declared and undeclared plant 
sites must count, for

[[Page 73775]]

declaration or report purposes, all exports from and imports to the 
entire plant site, not only from or to individual plants on the 
plant site.

    (b) Quantities of exports or imports that trigger a declaration or 
report requirement. (1) You have a declaration or report requirement 
and must complete the forms specified in paragraph (d) of this section 
if you exported or imported a Schedule 2 chemical in excess of the 
following threshold quantities:
    (i) 1 kilogram of chemical BZ: 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (See 
Schedule 2, paragraph A.3 included in Supplement No. 1 to this part);
    (ii) 100 kilograms of chemical PFIB: 1,1,3,3,3-Pentafluoro-
2(trifluoromethyl)-1-propene or 100 kilograms of Amiton : O,O Diethyl 
S-[2(diethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothiolate and corresponding alkylated 
or protonated salts (see Schedule 2, paragraphs A.1 and A.2 included in 
Supplement No.1 to this part);
    (iii) 1 metric ton of any chemical listed in Schedule 2, Part B 
(see Supplement No.1 to this part).
    (2) Mixtures containing a Schedule 2 chemical. The quantity of a 
Schedule 2 chemical contained in a mixture must be counted for the 
declaration or reporting of an export or import only if the 
concentration of the Schedule 2 chemical in the mixture is 30% or more 
by volume or by weight, whichever yields the lesser percent.

    Note 1 to paragraph (b)(2). See Sec. 713.3(a)(2)(ii) for 
information on counting amounts of Schedule 2 chemicals contained in 
mixtures and determining declaration and report requirements.

    Note 2 to paragraph (b)(2). The ``30% and above'' mixtures rule 
applies only for declaration and report purposes. This rule does not 
apply for purposes of determining whether the export of your mixture 
to a non-State Party requires an End-Use Certificate or for 
determining whether you need an export license from the Department 
of Commerce (see Secs. 742.2, 742.18 and 745.2 of the Export 
Administration Regulations) or from the Department of State (see the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR parts 120 through 
130).

    (c) Declaration and report requirements. (1) Initial declaration. A 
plant site described in paragrpah (a)(1) of this section that has an 
initial declaration requirement for production, processing, or 
consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical must also declare the export or 
import of that same Schedule 2 chemical if the amount exported or 
imported in 1994, 1995 or 1996 exceeded the applicable threshold 
quantity set forth in paragraph (b)(1)(i) through (iii) of this 
section. For the initial declaration, the plant site must only declare 
the export or import information for any of the calendar years (1994, 
1995 and/or 1996) in which the export or import exceeded the applicable 
threshold quantity.
    (2) Initial report on exports and imports. Declared plant sites 
described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, undeclared plant sites, 
trading companies or any other person subject to the CWCR that exported 
or imported a Schedule 2 chemical in 1996 in excess of the applicable 
threshold quantity set forth in paragraph (b) of this section, must 
submit an initial report on exports or imports for calendar year 1996.
    (3) Annual declaration on past activities. A plant site described 
in paragraph (a)(1) that has an annual declaration requirement for 
production, processing, or consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical for the 
previous calendar year, beginning in 1997, must also declare the export 
and/or import of that same Schedule 2 chemical if the amount exceeded 
the applicable threshold quantity set forth in paragraph (b). The plant 
site must declare the export or import information for that same 
Schedule 2 chemical as part of its annual declaration of past 
activities.
    (4) Annual report on exports and imports. Declared plant sites 
described in paragraph (a)(2), and undeclared plant sites, trading 
companies or any other person subject to the CWCR that exported or 
imported a Schedule 2 chemical in a previous calendar year, beginning 
in 1997, in excess of the applicable threshold quantity set forth in 
paragraphs (b)(1) (i) through (iii) must submit an annual report on 
exports or imports.
    (d) Types of declaration and report forms to be used. (1) Initial 
declaration. If you are a declared Schedule 2 plant site as described 
in paragraph (a)(1), you must complete Form 2-3B in addition to the 
forms required by Sec. 713.3(b)(1). You must complete the forms for 
each declared Schedule 2 chemical and for each of the calendar years 
1994, 1995, and 1996, in which the export or import exceeded the 
applicable threshold quantity.
    (2) Initial report on exports and imports. (i) If you are a 
declared plant site as described in paragraph (a)(2), you may fulfill 
your reporting requirements by:
    (A) Submitting, along with your initial declaration, a Form 2-3B 
for each Schedule 2 chemical you exported or imported above the 
applicable threshold quantity. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is 
optional.
    (B) Submitting, separately from your initial declaration, a 
Certification Form, Form 2-1, and Form 2-3B for each Schedule 2 

chemical you exported or imported above the applicable threshold 
quantity. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is optional.
    (ii) If you are an undeclared plant site or trading company, you 
must complete the Certification Form, Form 2-1, and Form 2-3B for each 
Schedule 2 chemical you exported or imported above the applicable 
threshold quantity. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is optional.
    (3) Annual declaration on past activities. If you are a declared 
Schedule 2 plant site as described in paragraph (a)(1), you must 
complete Form 2-3B, in addition to the forms required by 
Sec. 713.3(b)(2), for each declared Schedule 2 chemical exported or 
imported above the applicable threshold quantity in the previous 
calendar year.
    (4) Annual report on exports and imports. (i) If you are a declared 
plant site as described in paragraph (a)(2), you may fulfill your 
annual reporting requirements by:
    (A) Submitting, along with your annual declaration on past 
activities, a Form 2-3B for each Schedule 2 chemical you exported or 
imported above the applicable threshold quantity. Attach Form A, as 
appropriate; Form B is optional.
    (B) Submitting, separately from your annual declaration on past 
activities, a Certification Form, Form 2-1, and Form 2-3B for each 
Schedule 2 chemical you exported or imported above the applicable 
threshold quantity. Attach Form A, as appropriate; Form B is optional.
    (ii) If you are an undeclared plant site, trading company or any 
other person subject to the CWCR, you must complete the Certification 
Form, Form 2-1, and Form 2-3B for each Schedule 2 chemical you exported 
or imported above the applicable threshold quantity. Attach Form A, as 
appropriate; Form B is optional.
    (e) Quantities to be declared. (1) Calculations. If you exported 
from or imported to your plant site, trading company, or other location 
more than the applicable threshold quantity of a Schedule 2 chemical, 
you must declare or report all exports and imports by destination, and 
indicate the total amount exported to or imported from each 
destination. Only indicate the total annual quantity exported to or 
imported from a specific destination if the total annual quantity to or 
from that destination is more than 1% of the applicable threshold 
(i.e., more than 10 grams of BZ, 1 kilogram of PFIB and

[[Page 73776]]

Amiton and corresponding alkylated or protonated salts, or 10 kilograms 
of all other Schedule 2 chemicals). However, in determining whether 
your total exports and imports worldwide for the year in question 
trigger a declaration or report requirement, you must include all 
exports and imports, including exports and imports falling within the 
1% exemption in your calculation.
    (2) Rounding. For purposes of declaring or reporting exports and 
imports of a Schedule 2 chemical, you must total all exports and 
imports per calendar year per recipient or source destination and then 
round as follows: for the chemical BZ, the total quantity for each 
destination should be reported to the nearest hundredth of a kilogram 
(10 grams); for PFIB and Amiton and corresponding alkylated or 
protonated salts, the quantity for each destination should be reported 
to the nearest 1 kilogram; and for all other Schedule 2 chemicals, the 
total quantity for each destination should be reported to the nearest 
10 kilograms.


Sec. 713.5.  Advance declaration requirements for additionally planned 
production, processing, or consumption of Schedule 2 chemicals.

    (a) Declaration requirements for additionally planned activities. 
(1) You must declare additionally planned production, processing, or 
consumption of Schedule 2 chemicals after the annual declaration on 
anticipated activities for the next calendar year has been delivered to 
BXA if:
    (i) You plan that a previously undeclared plant on your plant site 
under Sec. 713.3(a)(1)(iii) will produce, process, or consume a 
Schedule 2 chemical above the applicable declaration threshold;
    (ii) You plan to produce, process, or consume at a plant declared 
under Sec. 713.3(a)(1)(iii) an additional Schedule 2 chemical above the 
applicable declaration threshold;
    (iii) You plan an additional activity (production, processing, or 
consumption) at your declared plant above the applicable declaration 
threshold for a chemical declared under Sec. 713.3(a)(1)(iii);
    (iv) You plan to increase the production, processing, or 
consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical by a plant declared under 
Sec. 713.3(a)(1)(iii) from the amount exceeding the applicable 
declaration threshold to an amount exceeding the applicable inspection 
threshold (see Sec. 716.1(b)(2));
    (v) You plan to change the starting or ending date of anticipated 
production, processing, or consumption declared under 
Sec. 713.3(a)(1)(iii) by more than three months; or
    (vi) You plan to increase your production, processing, or 
consumption of a Schedule 2 chemical by a declared plant site by 20 
percent or more above that declared under Sec. 713.3(a)(1)(iii).
    (2) If you must submit a declaration on additionally planned 
activities because you plan to engage in any of the activities listed 
in paragraphs (a)(1) (i) through (vi) of this section, you should also 
declare changes to your declaration relating to the following 
activities. You do not have to submit an additionally planned 
declaration if you are only changing the following non-quantitative 
activities:
    (i) Changes to the plant's production capacity;
    (ii) Changes or additions to the product group codes for the plant 
site or the plant(s);
    (iii) Changes to the plant's activity status (i.e., dedicated, 
multipurpose, or other status);
    (iv) Changes to the plant's multipurpose activities;
    (v) Changes to the plant site's status relating to domestic 
transfer of the chemical;
